The purpose of this study was to find the correlation between vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and length of fingers. Anthropometric measurements of VDO, length of middle finger, length of little finger, and distance from tip of thumb to tip of middle finger of right hand were recorded clinically using modified digital vernier caliper. Correlation between VDO and length of fingers was stud...

BACKGROUND A number of techniques are being practiced for the evaluation of VDO, but none of them is scientifically more accurate than other. Each method advocated has its own limitations. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to find correlation between vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and interpupillary distance (IPD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on ...

This paper presents a Knowledge Management (KM) software tool which has been designed to support managing implementation of best practices and improvement initiatives within a VDO (Virtual Development Office) Network. A VDO Network is an organization integrated by SMEs, with a particular form of governance. Furthermore, the KM tool enables building a knowledge base of key capabilities available...

During the planning of oral rehabilitation, the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is one of the first parameters to be measured since its improper restoration can lead to the failure of any prosthetic rehabilitation. A decreased VDO can lead to the appearance of lesions, such as angular cheilitis, facial disharmony, and temporomandibular disorders; meanwhile, an increased VDO may lead to th...

This mixed, single-double blind study examined the effect of a stepwise increase in vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) on the isometric strength of cervical flexor and deltoid muscles in 20 asymptomatic females with deep bite (age range 20-40 years). Vertical dimension of occlusion was increased by mandibular acrylic bite plates, 2, 4, 6 and 12 mm. Subjects were instructed to bite while resi...

Parallel machines scheduling problem is a branch of production scheduling, which is among the most difficult combinatorial optimization problems. This paper develops a meta-heuristic algorithm based on the concept of the vibration damping in mechanical vibration, called vibration damping optimization (VDO) algorithm for optimizing the identical parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-...

PURPOSE To hypothesize a new theory based on soft tissue reference points on lateral profile photographs (LPPs) for determining the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), as there is need to explore for simple strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-three participants in the age range of 20-27 years who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. LPPs were taken for all participants using stan...

The television show Mission Impossible began with Jim Phelps receiving instructions from a recording that subsequently self-destructs. This communication has strong privacy guarantees, but is not invulnerable to attack. The instructions can be overheard and even recorded. Instructions were often recieved in obscure locations, but it would be possible for someone other than Jim Phelps to listen ...

well. The microhybrid and nanofill composites that have been developed in the last 20 to 25 years are critical for the success of transitional bonding. Handling properties that allow for placement, sculpting, curing on demand, contouring, and polishing allow these restorations to mimic natural tooth structure. In the last few years the advantages of increasing VDO for patients who have lost som...
