CONGRESO SEPES SEVILLA 2024

Simplified protocol to increase the vertical dimension of occlusion. Predictability of rehabilitation difficulty.

Increasing the DVO is a cornerstone for implementing contemporary minimally invasive rehabilitation concepts in patients with tooth wear. It influences everything from preparation to material selection. Furthermore, we must acknowledge that the restorative space will vary significantly between patients and will not be homogeneous between the posterior and anterior sectors. We will also have to deal with certain compensatory movements that have occurred in the teeth affected by wear, which adds to the complexity.

This presentation will showcase several clinical cases of total rehabilitation where, thanks to a simplified digital protocol for capturing the increased DVO, we can diagnose limitations, predict future complications, and consequently establish a personalized treatment plan that involves and co-responsabilizes the patient over time.
