So said Hippocrates from Kos (460 BC-377 BC). We have forgotten this Ars Medica and its evolution has continued to divide the body into devices, losing the overall view of the structure of the body and its functions. The division of the spine in four segments, for example, is purely arbitrary from the point of being functionally a unique and indivisible and the eye is the seat of visual acuity, but also an essential component in maintaining balance.
Part the body that has always been considered out of context of the general body is the mouth. It has always been, in general, the preserve of foreign medical art categories, the "Dentist", barbers in the Far West, with grim implications ever, images of pain and suffering related to tooth extraction inevitable.
In reality there have always been attempts to replace lost teeth. In Etruscan times, or at the time of the Egyptians, they were replaced the lost anterior teeth, with teeth taken from dead or extracted by slaves and set close to those with wires or strips of gold. There was a figure in the European courts of the court physician who devoted himself to the dental therapies. Part the body that has always been considered out of context of the general body is the mouth. It has always been, in general, the preserve of foreign medical art categories, the "Dentist", barbers in the Far West, with grim implications ever, images of pain and suffering related to tooth extraction inevitable.
this event is an elite. In terms of the vulgar, the most common treatment was extraction.
In popular culture even today if they feel the effects; to the tooth, the dentist and dental therapies is linked to the image of pain and removal is still required as a fast, affordable solution, "via the tooth, the pain away" . For nearly a decade, the situation is in the process of change, the media are increasingly concerned with the health of the mouth.
The concept of prevention is becoming more and more often, the patient resorts to the dentist for a check-up and not only to eliminate the pain. Regarding the correlations between the mouth, or rather, between the occlusion and dental equipment and other body systems, there is a "no knowledge" or acceptance by the medical profession, the role that a malocclusion may have paintings in painful cervical, dorsal, lumbar, etc. ...
Osteopathy studies and discusses the correlation between the masticatory apparatus and, for example, the musculoskeletal system. The loss of teeth and their non-replacement prosthesis, orthodontic therapy is technically and aesthetically perfect, but not harmonized with the individual may, in certain people, triggering painful pictures in seemingly unrelated areas of the body to the mouth. A typical example is the paintings of cervical high, the "neck" at the first cervical vertebrae with typical radiation to the temples at night or early morning occurrence. In this case, without interfering with dental occlusion properly, work osteopath may be canceled or reduced efficacy.

The branch of dentistry that deals in depth with these issues is called "GNATHOLOGY" even if his knowledge and application should be part of the cultural background of each dentist. The term derives from the greek "gnatos-logos, speech that is in the jaws.
Its notable success came in 1864 when Bonwill created the first article, the device that allows you to assemble all the plaster models of dental arches as they are in reality of the patient.
Since then, there was a real flowering of interest, inventions to improve the methods in an attempt to reproduce as faithfully as possible the movements of the mouth. For the technology of the time, prevailed a very mechanical functioning of the mouth and despite rumors to the contrary it continued to consider the masticatory system as a set of gears, teeth, linked through the temporo mandibular jaw bone in a dynamic relationship clearly precluded any mechanistic role of the central nervous system and muscular system. Its notable success came in 1864 when Bonwill created the first article, the device that allows you to assemble all the plaster models of dental arches as they are in reality of the patient.
This view that the isolated "planet mouth" from the rest of the body, lasted nearly a century. 
In 1934, however, an otolaryngologist Costen U.S. published a work in which he laid the foundations of the relationship between malocclusion and extraoral symptoms. fact, he noted that pictures of neck pain and / or hearing disorders were related to the lack of molars.
For nearly a decade and the situation is changing, with increasing resonance, feels more and more widely spoken in both the scientific and the mass media, of "postural occlusive disease. By the deadline, indicate disease patterns, usually dependent on the musculo-articular, involving regions outside of the masticatory system, whose pathogenesis is partly or wholly, in a malfunction of the stomatognathic system. In 1934, however, an otolaryngologist Costen U.S. published a work in which he laid the foundations of the relationship between malocclusion and extraoral symptoms. fact, he noted that pictures of neck pain and / or hearing disorders were related to the lack of molars. To understand how this can happen you need a comprehensive understanding of the human body and all correlations anatomical, physiological and functional links between the various districts.
