This study aimed to develop a new formula to easily estimate the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) by using the distance between the mental foramen on a panoramic radiograph....
A total of 508 dentulous subjects were selected from outpatient dental clinics at the College of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University. The vertical dimension of the occlusion was measured using a sing...
Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that there was a strong correlation between the intermental foramina distance (IMFD) and the VDO. Thus, a novel formula was developed for determining the VDO us...
The novel formula developed herein facilitated the determination of the VDO among prosthetic rehabilitation for subjects who lost vertical dimension due to loss of posterior teeth or severe wear of na...
Horizontal and vertical representations of time (past-left or down and future-right or top) have been demonstrated. However, only a few studies have investigated the existence of a spatial map of time...
In this study, we sought to quantify the influence of vertical control assisted by a temporary anchorage device (TAD) on orthodontic treatment efficacy for skeletal class II patients with a hyperdiver...
A total of 36 adult patients with skeletal class II and a hyperdivergent facial type were included in this retrospective case-control study. To exclude the effect of sagittal anchorage reinforcement, ...
A significant decrease in ANB (P < 0.05 for both groups), the retraction and uprighting of the maxillary and mandibular incisors, and the retraction of protruded upper and lower lips were observed in ...
TAD-assisted vertical control can achieve intrusion of approximately 2 mm for the upper first molars and induce mandibular counterclockwise rotation of approximately 1.8°. Moreover, it is especially i...
This study evaluated the mandibular development induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) therapy in mixed dentition patients with different vertical growth patterns through long-term observation. Th...
The need to increase the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) to restore lost dental function or optimise specific dental treatments is a common occurrence in daily dental practice. The common belief...
This study evaluated the reliability of a face scanner in measuring the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO)....
Fully dentate volunteers (n=20; mean-age=30.0±10.7 years) were recruited. Clinical facial measurements were obtained using a digital caliper and a face scanner (Class 1 LASER, Obiscanner, Fifthingeniu...
120 VDO measurements (clinical=60, digital=60) were recorded by two independent evaluators. Mean differences between digital and clinical measurements ranged from 0.054±0.14mm to 0.203±0.13mm. All par...
The findings of this study demonstrate that VDO can be measured accurately from face scans using 3D mesh-processing software and that even small changes in the VDO could be detected using the digital ...
Findings provide evidence about the reliability of a digital method for jaw relation registrations and may be applied towards incorporating this method into clinical workflows for CAD-CAM dentures....
Studies on anthropometric measurements, one of the methods used in determining the occlusal vertical dimension, have been limited to the evaluation of only a few facial and hand parameters....
The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the possible relationships between all facial and hand measurements reported in the literature and assumed to be correlated with the occlusal vertic...
The study included a total of 271 participants, 136 women (30.37 ±8.09 years) and 135 men (30.42 ±8.49 years). A total of 36 measurements, including 4 occlusal vertical dimensions and 24 facial and 8 ...
Facial and hand measurements that showed strong correlations with occlusal vertical dimension measurements were the distance between the pupil of the eyes, the pupil of the eye-to-cheilion, sellion-to...
Certain anthropometric facial and hand measurements and regression formulas derived from the parameters that revealed strong correlations can be used to determine the occlusal vertical dimension....
This scoping review aims to clarify the concept of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) in prosthetic dentistry, addressing prevalent myths, and controversies regarding its clinical management and im...
This paper critically examines common beliefs about VDO alteration and its effects on temporomandibular disorders (TMD) through an extensive literature review and an international survey. The survey i...
The survey revealed insights into dentists' perspectives on VDO, showing that while many practitioners test a new VDO due to concerns about patient adaptation, a significant majority observed that pat...
This paper suggests that the traditional belief in the need for a prolonged trial phase for VDO alterations may be reconsidered in light of evidence supporting the adaptability of the stomatognathic s...
To assess whether an evaluation period is necessary for patient and clinical success when increasing the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) for a full mouth rehabilitation....
A systematic search was conducted in six databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, VHL, and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria of this systematic review used the PICO framework to address the...
The electronic search yielded 1188 titles after duplicates were removed. One RCT and 103 non-comparative articles were found relevant to the search question. Out of the 103 articles, 80 had an evaluat...
At present, there is lack of evidence that an evaluation period improves clinical and patient-reported outcomes when increasing OVD for full mouth rehabilitations. Thus, an increase in OVD can be succ...
The evaluation phase helps the clinician manage patient expectations and assist with the treatment sequencing. This phase is most effective with fixed restoration, such as temporary crowns or adhesive...
The effects of unilateral increased occlusal vertical dimension (iOVD) on bilateral craniofacial, mandibular and alveolar development in growing rats were investigated via cone-beam computed tomograph...
Forty-eight female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into unilateral iOVD and sham groups. At 2, 4 and 8 weeks, the rats were scanned via CBCT to analyse cranial, maxillary, mandibular and d...
Dorsal cephalograms revealed that the mandible in the iOVD group tilted approximately 4° to the right. Unilateral iOVD had little effect on cranial and maxillary growth but inhibited mandibular growth...
Occlusion with unilateral iOVD induced mandibular deviation, significantly inhibited mandibular growth and produced compensatory changes in the alveolar bone. In the iOVD group, the mandibular body le...
