REVIEW ON METHODS OF RECORDING VERTICAL RELATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The accuracy of recording vertical dimension at occlusion in edentulous patients is always a prime consideration for any dentist. Though there are many advances in techniques and materials employed in the field of prosthodontics for recording vertical dimension at occlusion; still, there is no accurate method of assessing vertical dimension of occlusion in edentulous patients available to dentist. In assessing this component for fabrication of complete denture, clinical judgment by dentist plays a major role1. Vertical dimension is defined as: - “The distance between two selected anatomic and marked points (usually one on the tip of the nose and the other upon the chin) one on a fixed and one on the movable member” – GPT 8. Vertical jaw relation are those established by the amount of separation of maxillae and mandible under specified conditions, classified as vertical dimension of rest and vertical dimension of occlusion. Physiologic rest position of the mandible is not determined by teeth it is established by muscles and gravity. Position of head is important; it must be held in an upright position by the patient and not supported by a headrest. Vertical dimension of occlusion is established by the natural teeth when they are present and in occlusion. In denture wearer, it is established by the vertical height of the two dentures when the teeth are in contact.
