Abstract:
A safe method to increase the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in patients with mild temporomandibular symptoms (such as tenderness upon palpation) is described. After a temporomandibular joint magnetic resonance (MR), an OVD increase was sought, pursuing pure rotational movement without condyle displacement. Prior to definitive rehabilitation, an additional MR confirmed steady and healthy condyle-disc-fossa relationships.
