The determination of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is one of the most important steps in the rehabilitation treatment. Although various techniques have been used to measure it, none has proven to be scientifically ...

Occlusal splints constructed at three different vertical heights were used to study the influence of vertical dimension in the etiology of bruxism and MPD syndrome. The vertical dimension of least EMG activity was ...

Occlusal splints were adjusted to different vertical heights and used to single out the influence of vertical dimension of occlusion in increments on BT-EMG activity of the masseter muscle in patients with mandibular ...

Objectives: An increase in occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) after microwave disinfection may result in the need for adjustments in the complete dentures. This in vitro study evaluated the increase in OVD of maxillary ...

This study investigated the effect of different microwave curing cycles on the changes in occlusal vertical dimension of complete dentures. Four test groups with 12 maxillary dentures each were evaluated. Groups 1, 2 and ...

The association between emotional stress and intense bruxism has as consequence the Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), which is an increasingly apparent problem at the dental clinic, requiring judicious means of diagnosis ...
