Question 169 · LDEK · Complete dentures
To determine occlusal dimension, also called the lower face height or vertical dimension, the following can be used:
1) anthropometric method;
2) determining the rest position of the mandible;
3) swallowing method;
4) intraoral graphic registration;
5) face bow;
6) contact method;
7) phonetic method;
8) using the calipers or ruler to establish the vertical dimension;
9) the correction of the height of the upper occlusion rim by the vertical dimension at rest; 10) the correction of the height of the lower occlusion rim by the vertical dimension at rest.
The correct answer is:
2) determining the rest position of the mandible;
3) swallowing method;
4) intraoral graphic registration;
5) face bow;
6) contact method;
7) phonetic method;
8) using the calipers or ruler to establish the vertical dimension;
9) the correction of the height of the upper occlusion rim by the vertical dimension at rest; 10) the correction of the height of the lower occlusion rim by the vertical dimension at rest.
The correct answer is:
- A. 1,2,4,5,8,9.
- B. 2,3,6,7,8,9.
- C. 1,2,3,6,7,8,10.
- D. 2,3,4,8,9.
- E. 1,2,3,4,5,8,9.
Hint
Separate methods of finding vertical height from those recording horizontal relation or the hinge axis, and recall which rim is trimmed for freeway space.
