The aim of this study was to investigate the association between body posture and occlusion in patients with and without dental pathology. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 29 patients divided into a control group and a group with pathology (malocclusions). Body posture was evaluated by dynamic baropodometry, analyzing parameters such as the line of gait and the anteroposterior and lateral position of the center of pressure (CoP). Occlusion was classified radiographically according to the sagittal skeletal relationship. Results showed significant differences in mean position phase line between groups (p = 0.01\u20130.02), with means of 115.85 \u00b1 16.98 mm vs. 95.74 \u00b1 24.47 mm (left side) and 109.03 \u00b1 18.03 mm vs. 91.23 \u00b1 20.80 mm (right side) for controls and pathologies, respectively. The effect size was large (Cohen\u2019s d 0.97 and 0.92). There were no differences in the anteroposterior (p = 0.38) or lateral (p = 0.78) position of the CoP. In gait analysis, significant differences were observed in left (548.89 \u00b1 127.50 N vs. 360.15 \u00b1 125.78 N, p &lt; 0.001) and right (535.71 \u00b1 131.57 N vs. 342.70 \u00b1 108.40 N, p &lt; 0.001) maximum heel strength between groups. The results suggest an association between body posture and occlusion, although further studies are needed to confirm this relationship. An integrated postural and occlusal approach could optimize the diagnosis and treatment of dental patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24061921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,18]],"date-time":"2024-03-18T04:25:15Z","timestamp":1710735915000},"page":"1921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Relationship between Body Posture Assessed by Dynamic Baropodometry and Dental Occlusion in Patients with and without Dental Pathology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Isabel","family":"Carda-Navarro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lidia","family":"Lacort-Collado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadia","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Ehrling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Lanuza-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4617-7659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Ferrer-Torregrosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8841-7975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clara","family":"Guinot-Barona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Catholic University of Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"501","DOI":"10.1080\/14763141.2018.1452966","article-title":"Reliability and Validity of the Zebris FDM-THQ Instrumented Treadmill during Running Trials","volume":"18","author":"Thomson","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sports Biomech."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tak\u00e1cs, M., Orlovits, Z., J\u00e1ger, B., and Kiss, R.M.
