Abstract

<p>In the case of occlusal reconstruction for partially edentulous dentition, it is often necessary to restore the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). In such cases, it is important not to correct the OVD alone, but to reconstruct the occlusal plane and other occlusal factors as well.</p><p>When setting a new OVD, it is common to use facial measurements and physiologic rest position with reference to the OVD determined by the prosthesis in use. However, in some cases, it is necessary to raise the OVD beyond the physiologic rest position, and the occurrence of a new interocclusal rest space must be confirmed while carefully observing the condition of the muscles and TMJ adapted to the reduced OVD. Furthermore, in terms of the temporomandibular joint, it is necessary to raise the OVD within the range where the mandibular condyle is in the stabilized condylar position.</p>
