In patients for whom a fixed complete denture is required, different techniques are described to determine the occlusal vertical d...

This is an empirical study on the pricing of two vertical property attributes: floor level and building height. Floor level is the vertical location of a unit in a multi-storey building; the extra price paid for a higher floor level is labelled a floor-level premium. Previous hedonic price studies unequivocally showed that the floor-level premium is positive, but they were silent on whether its...

PURPOSE Long lasting usage of complete dentures causes lower occlusal vertical dimension, producing potential detrimental consequences. The aim of this study was to investigate how changes in vertical dimension during denture exchange affect muscular activity and hyoid bone position. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-five edentulous, otherwise healthy patients (14 females, 11 males) aged 70.5 +/- 9...

Severe caries, attrition, abrasion, erosions of anterior teeth lead to loss of anterior guidance. This in turn causes attrition of posterior teeth and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. To gain the space for esthetic rehabilitation in these cases is cha­ llenging task. The required space can be achieved by crown lengthening and increasing the occlusal vertical dimension within physiologic lim...

INTRODUCTION SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) represents the second-dimension separation of two-dimensional (2D)-PAGE. Large-scale proteome analysis usually requires simultaneous electrophoresis of batches of second-dimension SDS-PAGE gels to maximize the reproducibility of 2D electrophoresis protein profiles. This requirement is most easily met using multiple, vertical second-...

conclusions the results of the current study suggest that long term use of dentures can cause a wide range of candida species colonization, resulting angular cheilitis. there was a need for an oral manifestation management-based strategy focusing on clinical and preventative treatment. angular cheilitis can be prevented by changing and replacing a new denture to modify the face vertical dimensi...

Introduction: The measurement precision of jaw is important for surgery or installing implants. Preimplant radiographs are important part of clinical evaluations before implant surgery. For choosing location, we should consider the important anatomical structures like mental foramen, inferior alveolar canal, nasal cavity and maxillary sinus.It is important to know the measurement accuracy of ra...

OBJECTIVE To investigate skeletal and dental changes after application of a mandibular setback surgery-first orthodontic treatment approach in cases of skeletal Class III malocclusion. METHODS A retrospective study of 34 patients (23 men, 11 women; mean age, 26.2 ± 6.6 years) with skeletal Class III deformities, who underwent surgery-first orthodontic treatment, was conducted. Skeletal landma...

Occlusal disharmony is induced by various conditions such as the loss of teeth and inappropriate vertical dimension of crowns, bridges, or dentures. Occlusal disharmony sometimes causes indefinite complaint syndromes, which may be associated with astrocytic hypertrophy and the reduction of numbers of neuronal somata and their dendritic spines in the hippocampus. Microglia monitors the condition...

Clinical treatments that require restoration of occlusal vertical dimension pose a challenge to prosthodontists. This article describes the modification of existing removable partial dentures into onlay interim prostheses. This process allowed the patient's tolerance to the restored occlusal vertical dimension, esthetics, and phonetics to be evaluated before irreversible changes were made to th...
