Rest vertical dimension determined by electromyography with biofeedback as compared to conventional methods.

S Feldman, R J Leupold, L M Staling

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Electromyography with biofeedback may offer a more reliable method for determining rest vertical dimension in edentulous patients compared to traditional techniques. Further research is needed to confirm its clinical validity and address cost barriers.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental prosthetics
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Clinical dentistry

    Background:

    • Determining the correct rest vertical dimension is crucial for successful denture fabrication and occlusal harmony.
    • Conventional methods like phonetics and swallowing can yield variable results.
    • Electromyography with biofeedback presents a potential alternative for objective measurement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the reliability of electromyography with biofeedback against conventional methods for determining rest vertical dimension.
    • To assess the clinical applicability of electromyography with biofeedback in prosthodontics.

    Main Methods:

    • Electromyography with biofeedback was employed to measure rest vertical dimension in edentulous subjects.
    • Conventional methods (phonetics, swallowing) were also utilized for comparison.

  • Data variability among different dentists was analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Electromyography with biofeedback demonstrated more consistent rest vertical dimension measurements in edentulous patients.
    • Conventional methods showed significant variations (up to 6 mm) in measurements among clinicians for some patients.
    • Potential for errors impacting interocclusal distance and treatment success was noted with conventional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Electromyography with biofeedback shows promise for reliable rest vertical dimension determination in edentulous patients.
    • Conventional methods exhibit considerable variability, potentially compromising treatment outcomes.
    • Further extensive studies are required to validate electromyography, considering factors like cost and practical implementation in private practices.
