- Determination of occlusal vertical dimension in a complete removable rosthetic rehabilitation: literature reviewPublication . Walsh, Rosane Agreda; Nóbrega, Ana RitaWhen a complete denture wearer presents for restorative treatment, one of the most important challenges for the dentist is to determine the optimal occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Studies have shown that establishing a correct OVD is of paramount importance, and many techniques have been proposed for determining the OVD, including the use of pre-extraction records, phonetics, swallowing, aesthetic appearance, and correlation with finger length. However, there is no universally accepted scientific method for determining OVD in edentulous patients. This literature review investigates the various methods that are in use and considers which may be most suitable or advisable for the prosthetic dentist. Based on the literature available, no single technique stands out as significantly better than others and the dentist should ideally use more than one technique to achieve the best results.
