Onlay partial denture technique for assessment of adequate occlusal vertical dimension: A clinical report☆☆☆★

College of Dentistry, New York University, New York, N.Y

Abstract 

Clinical treatments that require restoration of occlusal vertical dimension pose a challenge to prosthodontists. This article describes the modification of existing removable partial dentures into onlay interim prostheses. This process allowed the patient's tolerance to the restored occlusal vertical dimension, esthetics, and phonetics to be evaluated before irreversible changes were made to the dentition. (J Prosthet Dent 2002;87:1-4.)
