Summary

The aim of this research was to determine the existence of a correlation between the degree of temporomandibular dysfunction and cervical posture in different occlusal classes in adolescents. A cross-section, observational study was carried out, in which 296 adolescents took part. For the evaluation, the patients were divided into groups according to the presence and severity of the temporomandibular dysfunction, using a questionnaire and occlusal Angle classification. The posture analysis was carried out using photogrammetry and the software Alcimage® to measure the predefined angle based on the protuberances of the Spinous Process of the 7th Cervical Vertebra (C7), Manubrium of the sternum and Mentum Vertex.
