Question 228 · LDEK · Complete dentures
Which of the following methods are used when determining the vertical occlusal dimension in fully edentulous patients?
1) auscultation of the temporomandibular joint;
2) anthropometric method based on the equity of the frontal and mental height;
3) functional phonetic method;
4) determining the rest position of the mandible and the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
5) adding 2-4 mm of freeway space to the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
6) subtracting 2-4 mm of freeway space from the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
7) correction of the height of the upper occlusion rim to the measured vertical occlusal dimension;
8) correction of the height of the lower occlusion rim to the measured vertical occlusal dimension.
The correct answer is:
2) anthropometric method based on the equity of the frontal and mental height;
3) functional phonetic method;
4) determining the rest position of the mandible and the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
5) adding 2-4 mm of freeway space to the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
6) subtracting 2-4 mm of freeway space from the measurement of the rest vertical dimension;
7) correction of the height of the upper occlusion rim to the measured vertical occlusal dimension;
8) correction of the height of the lower occlusion rim to the measured vertical occlusal dimension.
The correct answer is:
- A. 1,2,4,5,7.
- B. 2,3,4,6,7.
- C. 3,4,5,7.
- D. 3,4,6,8.
- E. 1,3,4,6,7.
Hint
Use the physiological approach — rest position minus freeway space — and remember which rim already carries the occlusal plane.
