Recent studies have confirmed the relationship between head posture, mandibular position and visual focusing. A case-controlled study was conducted to assess the occurrence of ocular convergence defects between subjects with functional mandibular latero-deviation and healthy subjects in pediatric age. Sixty subjects (the study group) presented mandibular latero-deviation classified as functional according to the use of a clinical examination and frontal and basal tele-radiography. Sixty subjects without functional mandibular laterodeviation (control group) were selected randomly from all subjects seeking pediatric dental care and matched by gender and age to study group. All one hundred and twenty subjects were submitted to orthoptic tests performed by the same operator. These results seemed to confirm that in mandibular latero-deviation subjects ocular convergence defects occurred in greater frequency than in controls underlining the importance of role of pediatric dentistry among interdisciplinary cooperation.
近期研究证实了头部姿势、下颌位置与视觉聚焦之间的关系。开展了一项病例对照研究，以评估儿童期功能性下颌侧偏受试者与健康受试者之间眼会聚缺陷的发生率。60名受试者（研究组）根据临床检查以及额部和基部远距X线摄影被分类为功能性下颌侧偏。从所有寻求儿童牙科护理的受试者中随机选取60名无功能性下颌侧偏的受试者（对照组），并按性别和年龄与研究组进行匹配。所有120名受试者均由同一名操作人员进行视轴矫正检查。这些结果似乎证实，下颌侧偏受试者中眼会聚缺陷的发生率高于对照组，突出了儿童牙科在跨学科合作中的重要作用。
