Prosthodontic Rehabilitaion Of Severely Worn Dentition Of A Patient With Bruxism:A Case Report.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
“The mandible is considered to be in its physiologic rest position when all the muscles that close the jaw and all the muscles that open the jaws are in a state of minimal tonic contracture sufficient only to maintain posture.” The physiologic restposition is a postural relationship and is often referred to as the rest vertical dimention(VDR). The occlusal vertical dimention (VDO) on the other hand , is the vertical dimention of the face when the teeth are in contact in centric occlusion.Some prosthodontists believe that physiologic rest position tend to remain constant for reasonable period of time. The evaluation and establishment of the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is considered particularly important in treatment of patient with collapsed vertical dimention of occlusion in cases of bruxism.
