About this document
Increasing Vertical Dimension in Dentistry by Ariel Acevedo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses considerations and steps for reconstructing a severely worn dentition that requires increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). It recommends increasing the VDO by 1.5-2 mm between the second molars to open up sufficient space for full mouth restorations. The steps involve determining the desired VDO increase, taking an occlusal registration at the opened bite, and using study models mounted with the new vertical dimension to design and fabricate restorations.
