Abstract
Although not all kinds of deep bite occlusions are considered pathological states, they can cause persistent wear and eruption of the anterior mandibular teeth if the anterior occlusal contact is unstable or accompanied by an occlusal disharmony. The patient was a 72-year-old man with no occlusal contact of the remaining anterior teeth in the centric relation position because of a skeletal class II malocclusion and loss of occlusal support. If the vertical dimension needs to be increased for prosthetic restoration in a patient with a deep bite, the amount of vertical dimension increase must be determined through precise diagnosis. This is because the overjet may increase and cause an unstable occlusion. In this review, we report the case of a patient with a stable occlusion and good treatment results achieved by using a removable partial denture prosthesis and applying the Dahl concept.
