The intermaxillary relations refer to the position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla in the vertical and horizontal planes, being the occlusion vertical dimension (OVD) and the centric relation (CR) essential in the treatment with complete dentures. This article reports a case of reestablishing intermaxillary relations with conventional complete dentures (CCD).A 82-year-old male patient sought care to replace his complete dentures due to dissatisfaction with the aesthetics and chewing function. After anamnesis and extra and intraoral exams, it was found that the current complete dentures showed large wear of the teeth, causing decreased OVD, aesthetic, and masticatory damage. The edges had satisfactory conditions for CCD rehabilitation. From the anatomical impressions of edges were obtained study models for making individual trays, later used for functional impression and obtaining the working models, on which were made wax plans. After adjustment of the upper wax plane and registration of the facial arch, the upper model was mounted on the semi-adjustable articulator. For the determination of the OVD, metric, physiological, aesthetic, and phonetic methods were used, and for the determination of CR, manipulation and physiological methods were used. The inferior model was assembled after determination of intermaxillary relations. Teeth were selected and mounted. In the aesthetic and functional testing of the teeth, occlusion, OVD, and esthetics were restored. The dentures were polymerized and installed. In proservations, the patient reported improvement in chewing, aesthetics, and phonetic. It was concluded that the reestablishment of intermaxillary relations contributed to aesthetic, masticatory, and phonetic rehabilitation.

Definite Treatment

Severe morphological changes and the reduction of the residual ridge in old denture wearers can pose major challenges like providing optimum retention, stability, support and restoring the lost vertical dimensions in the new dentures. In addition, wearing such dentures with decreased or poor function can impair mastication and lead to harmful effects on the nutritional status of the patients. A rehabilitation device, often called a transitional denture or pre-definitive treatment prosthesis often provides a fine springboard from which to construct the second set of dentures. The present case report describes a method to restore the lost occlusal vertical dimension with a pre-definitive treatment prosthesis using the old complete dentures for a patient for him to adapt to the changes before the fabrication of the new complete dentures.

The movement of teeth during processing of complete dentures disturbs the harmonious occlusal scheme established at the final wax try-in stage. Aims and objectives: to investigate the effect of RS flask closure on occlusal vertical dimensions of complete dentures. The mean occlusal vertical dimension of complete maxillary and mandibular dentures fabricated by the conventional flask closure were measured and compared with that of dentures fabricated by RS flask closure. Design: A pre-test post-test control group experimental design. Methods: Thirty sets of complete maxillary and mandibular wax trial dentures were randomly assigned to experimental groups. Fifteen sets were assigned to conventional flask closure and the remainder to RS flask closure. Compression molding with a long curing cycle was performed for the processing of the dentures. Pre-processing and post-processing occlusal vertical dimensions were determined. Results: The mean occlusal vertical dimensions of wax trial dentures assigned to either group were similar. The data produced substantial evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the post-processing mean occlusal vertical dimensions of both groups were equal. Conclusion: The occlusal vertical dimensions produced by dentures clamped by the RS flask closure were significantly less than those produced by dentures clamped by the conventional flask closure.

Occlusal Vertical Dimension

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 3 were polymerized with different cycles by microwave radiation and Group 4 was the control and cured by water bath. The average pin opening for all groups was less than 0.5 mm. There was no significant difference between the groups polymerized by the microwave method and the control group. However, analyses of the vertical dimension changes showed statistically significant differences between groups 2 (0.276 ± 0.141 mm) and 3 (0.496 ± 0.220 mm).
