Vertical dimension of occlusion: the keys to decision
TLDR
The decision making will be described in relation to different factors, such as overjet, overbite, prosthetic space, mandibular morphology, profile, vertical and horizontal skeletal type, and a decision-making table is proposed to visualize the trend of these different factors.Abstract:
During an extensive prosthetic reconstruction, the choice of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is frequently presented as the main point to obtain a success of treatment. Probably, it is a sensible opinion to think that there is an optimal adaptive space concerning the vertical dimension (VD) rather than a magic point. The practitioner may play with the VD, if a strict rotation around the hinge axis is utilized, if the facial type is not worsened and if lip closure is kept in a natural position. In case of temporomandibular osteoarthritis, non progressive large changes of VD have to be avoided. The decision making will be described in relation to different factors, such as overjet, overbite, prosthetic space, mandibular morphology, profile, vertical and horizontal skeletal type. A decision-making table is proposed to visualize the trend of these different factors.read more

Interdisciplinary approach for increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion in an adult patient with several missing teeth.
TL;DR: The treatment plan included placement of endosseous dental implants early in the orthodontic treatment to increase the vertical dimension of the occlusion for deepbite correction, canine substitution for the missing lateral incisors, and distalization of the mandibular right buccal segment with the aid of a temporary anchorage device.

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical dimension of occlusion using the vocals "O" and "E" with the control of values obtained by applying cognitive functions was investigated. But the results of the study were limited to two groups of patients: the first group consisted of 50 females and 50 males, aged 18 to 30 years.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of determining the vertical dimension of occlusion using the vocals "O" and "E" with the control of values obtained by applying cognitive functions with the result that 5.5 mm subtraction from the position of the mandible in pronunciation of the word "OLO" is required.

TL;DR: Much of the controversy over the significance of clinical rest position stems from imprecise and inadequate definitions.

Prevalence of missing posterior teeth and intraarticular temporomandibular disorders.
TL;DR: A positive association between missing mandibular posterior teeth and the presence of disk displacement was found and the literature does not suggest that replacement of missing posterior teeth prevents the development of TMDs.

Relationship of occlusal vertical dimension to the health of the masticatory system
TL;DR: Research with humans and animals has shown that if increases in occlusal vertical dimension are not extreme and the appliance used covers most of the dentition, there is a good possibility of adaptation.
