Onlay partial denture technique for assessment of adequate occlusal vertical dimension: A clinical report

Management of generalized attrition with an overlay removable partial denture for restoration of the OVD–a new treatment option

“…Careful evaluation of decreased VDO, by using evidences of loss of posterior support, history of wear, phonetics, interocclusal distance, and facial appearance, is probably one of the most important steps in full mouth rehabilitation for these patients. Patients with reduced VDO can use ORPDs instead of occlusal splint to accurately evaluate their proper VDO [3,4,12]. Long term observations have confirmed that for the majority of patients, moderate alteration to the OVD may be well tolerated.…”

“…An interim ORPD provides a reversible treatment that allows validation of VDO and functional occlusion [3,4]. This validated VDO and functional occlusion by interim ORPDs can then be transferred to the final prosthesis.…”

Prosthodontic management of a patient with oligodontia: A case report

“…According to the findings from the lateral cephalometric analysis, and clinical finding, vertical dimension of occlusion was restored with an occlusal appliance therapy for better aesthetics and function before the construction of the fixed prosthesis. Occlusal appliance is used as an auxiliary tool in dentistry 25,29 .…”

Full Mouth Rehabilitation of a Patient with Severely Worn Dentition – A Systematic Clinical Approach

“…The trial period of intensive fixed provisional prostheses is 2 -6 months. 3,10,11,12,13 In this case; the patient was carefully monitored for 3 month to evaluate the adaptation of the provisional restoration . 14 The trial period is relatively same for this case as in the other case report, but discomfort, wear, and muscle fatigue were not observed during that period.…”
