Description

<p>Patient: The patient was a 69-year-old male with decreased occlusal vertical dimension and masticatory disturbance associated with teeth loss and attrition. Using an analysis of free-way space, cephalometric analysis and diagnostic wax-up as references, the occlusal vertical dimension was increased by means of interim restorations and transitional dental prostheses. Periodontal treatment or root canal treatment was performed at this stage. After the occlusion was stabilized, the interim restorations were replaced with definitive dental prostheses.</p><p>Discussion: After a suitable mandibular position for functional mandibular movements was investigated by using interim restorations and transitional dental prostheses, definitive dental prostheses were delivered, resulting in a favorable prognosis.</p><p>Conclusion: A suitable mandibular position for increasing the occlusal vertical dimension should be established by performing reversible treatment.</p>
