Influence of
occlusal vertical dimension on cervical spine mobility in sports subjects.
* Traumatic occlusion with inadequate
occlusal vertical dimension and plane of occlusion.
However, the
occlusal vertical dimension is questionable in both methods [17].
Increasing the
occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in a full mouth rehabilitation is an alternative to create the necessary space.
A Time-saving method for transferring
occlusal vertical dimension and centric relation of complete denture to a full arch implant prosthesis.
Face-bows record these arch-skull relations of patients and enable their transfer to the articulator.1-3 In technical terms, face-bow records the orientation of occlusal plane by tripod localization of two posterior and an anterior reference to relate the maxillary cast to the arbitrary or true hinge axis.4 Some other benefits of face-bow include possibility of introducing minor changes in the
occlusal vertical dimension without the need for recording new centric relation and to support the maxillary cast while it is being mounted on articulator.5,6
The
occlusal vertical dimension and centric relation of the patient was determined using permanent denture base with wax occlusal rims.
(2,3,7) According to the literature, amelogenesis imperfecta patients, regardless of subtype, have similar oral complications: abnormal formation of the enamel, teeth with abnormal colour: yellow, brown or grey, higher risk for dental caries, teeth sensitivity, poor dental esthetics, and decreased
occlusal vertical dimension. (8,9) Other dental anomalies associated with amelogenesis imperfecta include, multiple impacted teeth, congenitally missing teeth, open occlusal relationship, and taurodontism.
[5.] Ohnuki Y, Kawai N, Tanaka E, Langenbach GE, Tanne K, Saeki Y Effects of increased
occlusal vertical dimension on daily activity and myosin heavy chain composition in rat jaw muscle.
The
occlusal vertical dimension relates the maxillary alveolar arch/teeth with the mandibular alveolar arch/teeth and it is the distance between these components with the upper and lower teeth/jaws interdigitating [4].
