SUBJECT: head and neck chewing and posture. PURPOSE: to carry out a systematic review with the purpose of observing if there is a reciprocal interference between the masticatory function and of head and neck posture. CONCLUSION: there is reciprocity between the chewing function and the alterations in the head and neck regions, although there are doubts about which region primarily promotes changes in the other one. Thus, it is important to carry on more studies using more targeted and measurable assessment methods for each region in order to provide more accurate data.
