title: [Correlation of bioelectric activity of maxillofacial muscles with postural status and chewing function in patients with disocclusion].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between the activity and the function of the maxillofacial muscles and the postural status in patients with the Class II malocclusions. The study revealed posture stabilizing function of sterno-cleido-mastoid muscles and interference of postural and maxillofacial muscles. In addition in class II patients asymmetric masticatory dysfunctions were identified.
