The influence of divergent splint-adjusted maximum intercuspation on head posture during prolonged phases of clenching was studied in five subjects. During clenching in maximum intercuspation profound changes of head posture were observed, if intercuspation was not harmonized with an upright posture of head and body. Since the interrelation between occlusion and head posture is established a comprehensive approach of orthopedic, physiotherapeutic, and dental measures, in particular for the therapy of myoarthropathy patients with cervical spine symptoms seems appropriate. Occlusal corrections and determination of occlusal relations must always be made or at least checked in the upright relaxed patient with the head straight.
对五名受试者研究了在长时间紧咬阶段，不同咬合板调整的最大牙尖交错位对头部姿势的影响。在最大牙尖交错位紧咬期间，如果牙尖交错位与头部和身体的直立姿势不协调，会观察到头部姿势的深刻变化。由于咬合与头部姿势之间的相互关系已经确立，因此采用综合的骨科、物理治疗和牙科措施，特别是对于有颈椎症状的肌关节病患者的治疗似乎是合适的。咬合矫正和咬合关系的确定必须始终在头部挺直、身体放松的患者身上进行，或者至少进行检查。
