Relationship between craniocervical orientation and center of force of occlusion in adults.

Objective: Clinical observation and anecdotal reports suggest changes can occur to dental occlusion following intervention with the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) procedure. This case controlled study discerned if occlusion changes are measurable using a dental force plate (T-Scan®) following an adjustment to the craniocervical junction (CCJ).

Methods: A degree of case control was established by active patients being assessed twice prior to and following intervention.
