15 Questions
What are the methods for recording occlusal vertical dimension?
Pre extraction records, profile photograph, profile silhouettes, profile radiographs, articulated casts, facial measurements, measurements from former dentures
How are profile photographs used to record occlusal vertical dimension?
Measurements of anatomic landmarks on the photograph are compared with measurements using the same anatomic landmarks on the face. These measurements can be compared when the records are made and again when the artificial teeth are tried in.
What is the purpose of profile silhouettes in recording occlusal vertical dimension?
An accurate reproduction of the profile silhouettes can be repositioned to the face after the vertical dimension has been established at the initial recording and/or when the artificial teeth are tried in.
Why should profile photographs be made with the teeth in maximum occlusion?
The position of maximum occlusion can be maintained accurately for photographic procedures.
What are the components of pre extraction records for recording occlusal vertical dimension?
Profile photograph, profile silhouettes, profile radiographs, articulated casts, facial measurements, measurements from former dentures
Which of the following is NOT a method for recording occlusal vertical dimension?
Intraoral radiographs
What is the purpose of making profile photographs with the teeth in maximum occlusion?
To compare anatomic landmarks on the photograph with those on the face
Why are profile silhouettes repositioned to the face after establishing the vertical dimension?
To confirm the accuracy of the initial recording
What is the primary purpose of pre-extraction records in recording occlusal vertical dimension?
To create a reference for future dental work
