Abstract
The determination of optimum occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) that is harmonious with the individuals’ craniofacial system is important for prosthetic restorative procedures. The purpose of this article was to examine the importance of OVD for implant supported prosthetic restorations with two clinical reports. A computer aided literature review was conducted to define the articles about OVD and implant supported restorations. The review revealed that one-stage OVD increase with moderate to severe degrees (3-16 mm, mean: 7.3 mm) did not result in any complaints or temporomandibular disorders. Regaining the OVD did not result in relapse or any changes. Moderate alterations in the occlusal vertical dimension of patients are generally well tolerated when necessary for therapeutic purposes.
