The correct restoration of vertical dimension of occlusion, the mandible positioning and leveling of the occlusal plane should be basic requirements in rehabilitation where there was a collapse occlusal. But in many cases these solutions require complex treatments and expensive for the vast majority of the population. This study aimed to review the principals involved, clinical indication, planning, in order to discuss the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of prosthesis type overlay and leveling the occlusal technique Broadrick, identifying their indications, advantages and disadvantages through the presentation of a clinical case. It was concluded that the overlay PPR may be an alternative treatment for patients in need of restoring the vertical dimension may be used as temporary or permanent treatment, and the method Broadlick may be useful in determining the orientation of the curve of Spee in patients with occlusal plane incorrect.
