A Study on the Relation between Stomatognathic System and the Systemic Condition

Concerning the Influence of Bite Raising for Vertical Position by a Splint on the Control of Posture in Archery

Abstract

Recently, sports dentistry has attracted attention as a field of sportsmedicine. Since the stomatognathic system and the systemic condition closely affect with each other, we have studied both of them objectively, physiologically and scientifically.
Archery is a sport requiring static concentration of thought, and it seems to be extremely important for this sport to control a basic posture at the time of aiming at a target.
This study was carried out for the purpose of obtaining a fundamental data on how a bite raising for vertical position by a resin splint, which maintained stable occlusion, influenced gravity fluctuations in posture at the time of aiming at a target.
