T he masticatory system, which includes the maxillae, the mandible, the teeth, the temporomandibular joints (TM J), and all associated muscles, is directly related to the cervical spine. The neuromuscular influence of the cervical and masricatory regions actively participate in the functions of mandibular movement and cervical positioning.‘-4 Mandibular movement is dictated by the neuromuscular control of the masticatory muscles until initial tooth contact occurs. The tooth inclines then guide the jaw into the maximum intercuspal position. 5 Normal mandibular closure from rest position to maximum intercuspation (postural movement) is an anterior and vertical movement. 6 The purpose of this study is to document the effects of various cervical postures on the anterior and vertical components of mandibular movement.
