Abstract

In the case of excessively worn dentition, there is often insufficient space for the prosthesis, and if physiologically acceptable, the prosthesis can be fabricated by increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion. Various methods have been introduced to determine the vertical dimension of occlusion. Clinicians have to choose a method that can comfort the patient among several methods. A removable appliance can be used as a reversible method to ensure that the determined vertical dimension of occlusion does not cause physiological problems. When making impressions of many teeth, it is often difficult to make accurate impressions at once. In this case, after making an accurate impression of the individual teeth, a transfer coping was made and a pickup impression was taken in the oral cavity to create a master cast. In this case, a fixed partial denture was fabricated and full mouth rehabilitation was performed by increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion in a patient with excessively worn dentition and lack of space for restoration. As a result of follow-up of the patient for 7 years, satisfactory results were obtained both esthetically and functionally.
