The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between body balance and occlusal balance during the mixed dentition stage. Fifty-six healthy children with Hellman’s Dental Age IIIA: (31 boys and 25 girls) with an average age of 8.1 years, were selected from an elementary school. The body balance, distance and area of gravity center movement (GCM) were measured with automatic posture analytical devices. Occlusal abilities were measured with pressure-sensitive sheets (Dental Prescale^®), including occlusal contacts area, average occlusal pressure, maximum occlusal pressure, occlusal force and occlusal balance. Analysis of occlusal balance was determined by separating the middle group (|x| ≤ 5 mm) from the deflection group (|x| > 5 mm) based on the position of occlusal balance center. Similarly, the children were instructed to perform the GCM area of eyes-closed exercise. The first 25% of the participants with the best balance were grouped as the good balance group; and the last 25% with the worse balance were grouped as the bad balance group. Results showed that occlusal contact area and occlusal force of the middle group were more than the deflection group, GCM distance and area of the middle group were less than the deflection group. occlusal contacts area and occlusal force of the good balance group were more than the bad group. Body balance function and occlusal balance function were observed to have mutual influence during Hellman’s Dental Age IIIA stage in this study.
