  • Title: Interdisciplinary approach for increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion in an adult patient with several missing teeth.
    Author: Uribe F, Janakiraman N, Nanda R.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2013 Jun; 143(6):867-76. PubMed ID: 23726337.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes the interdisciplinary treatment of a 39-year-old man with several missing teeth (including both maxillary lateral incisors), Class II malocclusion, deep overbite, and significant mandibular midline deviation. The treatment plan included placement of endosseous dental implants early in the orthodontic treatment to increase the vertical dimension of the occlusion for deepbite correction, canine substitution for the missing lateral incisors, and distalization of the mandibular right buccal segment with the aid of a temporary anchorage device.
