Contradictory results are still reported on the influence of dental occlusion balance control. We attempted to determine whether there differences in between opposed (Intercuspal position (ICP)/“Cotton rolls” mandibular [CR]) for two extreme levels stability (stable/unstable). Twenty-five subjects were monitored under both and level conditions using an unstable platform Balance System SD. The resulting index suggests that body is significantly better when set CR ( p < .001) but not stable conditions. Occlusal traits influencing postural control Angle Class .001), crowding = .006), midline deviation crossbite anterior open bite .05), overjet .01). It could be concluded sensory information linked comes strongly into effect
