  • Title: Vertical dimension of occlusion in implant dentistry: significance and approach.
    Author: Gittelson GL.
    Journal: Implant Dent; 2002; 11(1):33-40. PubMed ID: 11915543.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the principles of occlusion as they relate to managing bite forces on implants is extremely important to maintain the longevity of dental implant prostheses. Specifically, altering vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) scientifically and predictably is critical to the creation of proper tooth form and guidance when fabricating a full-arch implant-supported prosthesis.
