- What is the quantitative difference for healthy vs abused tissue dimensions?
- 12-24 hours for JRR, try-in, and final placement.
48-72 hours for impressions, 72 hours for extremely abused tissues. - Would lead to errors in CD such as ill-fitting record base, prostheses, CR, etc
- 0.7 to 3 mm difference
Who advocated using the patient’s existing dentures to assess patient expectations? How would you do this?

5 Methods from denture manual to evaluate vertical dimension
8 Ways to evaluate vertical dimension by Turrell
- Boos Bimeter
- Silverman: Closest speaking space
- Pound: Phonetics and Esthetics
- Lytle: Neuromuscular perception
- Pleasure: Pleasure points (tip of nose/chin)
- Pretreatment records (Turrell)
- Physiologic rest (Atwood, Tallgren, Niswonger, Thompson)
- Cephalometrics (Atwood)
- Closing forces (Boos Bimeter)
- Esthetics (Turrell)
- Electromyography
- Facial dimensions
- Phonetics
- Deglutition
- Tactile sense: Lytle (tap, tap tap)
- Wear (Turner)
How does a patient lose vertical dimension? What authors argue it is constant and who argues it changes?
Mechanical/chemical wear and unstable occlusion
Constant: Thompson (dependent on muscles) and Dawson (bone remodeling to supraerupt) and Niswonger
Changes: Atwood (ceph VDR changes), Tallgren (VDR will adapt to VDO), Ramfjord (range of rest is 1.7 mm)
What did Silverman say about closest speaking space?
Ranges from 0-10 mm
Uses existing teeth if possible, otherwise trial and error. Recommend to speak sentences rapidly.
Difference between closest speaking position and centric occlusion
Not the same as resting dimension (normally 3 mm)
(Fun fact: Letter “G” also does closest speaking space)
What did Pound say about S?
S sound produced when upper and lowest incisors are 1 mm apart. Class II patients 3 mm, and Class III patients no movement. For posterior teeth, distances are Class I (1.5-3), Class II (3-6), Class III (1)
Vig and Brundo (1978) - Incisal edge display reduction by sex
By every decade?
What relation does amount of maxillary central display have with mand. central?
What relation does lip length have with maxillary central display?
Male: 1.91
Female: 3.4
Up to 29: 3.37 30-39: 1.58 (-1.8) 40-49: 0.95 (-0.6) 50-59: 0.46 (-0.5) 60+: -.04 (-0.5)
The more maxillary central shown, the less mand central and vice versa.
The longer the lip, the less maxillary central display there is.
Who talked about face form in relation to denture tooth selection?
Williams classification (Square, tapering, ovoid) correlated with teeth of similar shape
Should patient be involved in teeth/mold selection?
Yes, Hirsch, Levin, & Tiber - Increased patient acceptance
Lefer, Pleasure, Rosenthal - Patient involvement had fewer complaints and postop’s
