| Abstract | ||||
| The occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) has frequently been a source of conflict in restorative dentistry. The OVD may be changed to enhance occlusal interactions, integrate dentofacial esthetics, or provide room for intended treatments. The OVD should not be viewed as an immutable guidance, but rather as a dynamic dimension within a range of physiological tolerance that can be changed over period of time as the dentist stays within the function envelope. Because of the original references, vertical modifications in the maxilla-mandible connection may have biological, biomechanical, esthetic, and three-dimensional (3D) functional impacts. This clinical case report details the treatment plan of a patient who had a favorable clinical outcome after reconstructing the vertical dimension with a boost in esthetics and function illustrates the treatment of a patient. This patient was clinically evaluated for three months to assess TMJ adaptation to a posterior removable partial denture (RPD) and resin composite anterior fillings. | ||||
