Abstract

The control of Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD)1 is a demanding task for dentists. Establishment of proper occlusal vertical dimension in prosthetic treatment is a important task for clinical procedure.2 No methods are considered to be scientifically accurate in determining the reduced OVD in patients with low occlusal vertical dimension.3 Various factors need to be considered simultaneously during occlusal rehabilitation, such as vertical dimension of occlusion, occlusal contact pattern, centric relation, esthetics and phonetics. Different philosophies have been documented for occlusal rehabilitation and the choice of treatment plan depends on the skills and experience of the dentist.4 The actual basal bone height of the reconstructed maxillary and mandible is relevant to achieve normal OVD for the prosthesis fabricated.5 This paper described a case with vertical distance problem in which we combined orthodontics with implantation to rehabilitate vertical dimension of occlusion.
