Background: Dental structure and posture is now well known to be closely linked to each other. This work is not intended to be the definitive proof of this link, but rather the exposure of a case that presents the particularity of an absolute procedural asepsis as the operator was not aware of the change in the dental setting of the subject examined.
Material sand Methods: The study began in 2020 and ended in 2021. The subject involved was a young woman of about 37 years old, weighing 52Kg and 1.58m tall, at the first postural analysis performed on 2020 January the third. Subsequently, two other postural analysis were performed, 13 months and 22 months after the first respectively. For the postural analysis, an identical protocol was followed in the three analyzes
Performed.
Results: Observing the results obtained in the three analysis, it can be deduced that approximately 63% of the controlled parameters (12 out of 19) underwent modifications, even if not all of them could be related to the variation of the dental setting.
Conclusion: The study, even within the limits of its design, highlights how the different systems that make up the human body are interdependent and an action performed on one of them can be found as a modification of the initial state of others.
