RODRIGUES, Rodrigo Araújo; BEZERRA, Priscila Medeiros; SANTOS, Dellano Fernandes da Silva  and  DUARTE FILHO, Eduardo Sérgio Donato. Multidisciplinary procedures used in VDO's recovery during the rehabilitation of esthetic and functional: case report. IJD, Int. j. dent. [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.2, pp. 96-101. ISSN 1806-146X.

The reduction of the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) can present similar characteristics to those verified in the aging, therefore it determines alterations in the face of the patient, as much of the muscular point of view, and how much related to the ATMs. This work argues regarding the causes and buccal consequences extra and intra of the loss of the vertical dimension, and considers therapy for recovery of this distance. Through the case story we evidence the importance of the odontologies documentation and anamnese for the closing of the diagnosis and correct plan of treatment, in view of that the characteristics of the loss of the VD are varied and the multifactor etiologies. The recovery of the height of 1/3 inferior of the face was obtained with the job of prothesis of oclusal covering of the type "overlays", used for the patient for a period of time until it fulfilled the period of adaptation to the new VD. Passed this period the same one was submitted the restoring process with fotopolimerizável composed resin in removable partial remaining and prothesis teeth the bilateral cramps. To the end of the treatment it was clearly the disappearance of the signals and symptoms before toW, beyond the harmonization of the face. Ahead of this, we justify the job of this prosthetic modality as therapy of recovery of the loss of VD and its clinical repercussions.
