Justifcal Ication for Altering the Vertical Dimensions of Occlusion with Case Reports

Abstract

Anshul Chugh and Poonam Bhisnoi

In many cases it is possible to increase the vertical dimension of occlusion if two foundational principles are maintained. The starting point for reconstruction of the vertical dimension of occlusion must be with the mandibular condyles in centric relation. Reconstruction must be within range of neuromuscular adaptation for each individual patient.
