Patients who lost posterior teeth due to periodontitis or dental caries have collapsed vertical dimension, unstable occlusion and change of the mandibular position. In particular, patients in orthognathic surgery, clinician should re-establish the pre-operative stable position of mandibular condyle in articular fossa and favorable vertical dimension for high post-operative stability of mandible. Therefore, interdisciplinary approach and co-operation, including prosthetics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, from diagnosis and treatment plan is important to get a good outcome. This case report was patients who had collapsed occlusal plane due to severe dental caries on maxillary molars with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Before orthognathic surgery, resetting of maxillary occlusal plane with temporary removable denture was performed. Then successful multidisciplinary approach was done and lead to acceptable clinical outcome.

Loss of posterior support may cause extrusion of antagonistic teeth and excessive wear of remaining teeth which often leads to the destruction of the occlusal plane. In such cases, it is critical to verify the need to increase vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Should you increase VDO, provisionalization is crucial in evaluating function and esthetics. Double scanning technique is a useful method when fabricating definitive restoration that mimic provisional restoration. In this case, a patient with apparently no loss of VDO and insufficient interocclusal space for dental materials due to loss of posterior support and extrusion of antagonistic teeth was rehabilitated using double scanning technique.

There are various ions in seawater. In order to use seawater as the drinking water, some elements are to be concentrated and other elements are to be removed. To obtain these characteristics using seawater, it is necessary to adjust seawater quality. Because calcium and magnesium are especially healthful to human bodies, it is required to concentrate these elements. In this study, the technology to obtain the hard water from seawater by electerodialysis was investigated. After concentrated water was produced using nanofiltration membranes, sodium chloride was eliminated from the concentrated water by electrodialysis. The hard water production from seawater was successfully achieved using electrodialysis in this study.

Gradual teeth wear is normal physiological progress, severe tooth wear can causes dysfunction, occlusal plane disharmony and esthetic problems. If additional space is needed for prosthetic restoration due to severe attrition, full mouth rehabilitation with increase of occlusal vertical dimension may be considered. In this case, 72 year old male patient with severe worn dentition, irregular gingival zenith and deep anterior bite was treated by full mouth rehabilitation for regaining the space for restoration, improving relationship and esthetic of anterior teeth. Provisional restoration obtained by systemic analysis, diagnosis and re-evaluation for a sufficient time was replicated to final restorations through double scanning technique using monolithic zirconia blocks. Satisfactory functional and esthetic outcomes were obtained.

In order to create denture occlusion that is functional, comfortable and balanced, it is necessary to both determine a vertical dimension of occlusion that is in harmony with the patient's musculature and to record a relatively repeatable jaw relation position. This require clinical skill to establish an accurate, verifiable and reproducible vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and centric relation (CR). Correct vertical relation depends upon a consideration of several factors, including muscle tone, inter-dental arch space and parallelism of the ridges. Centric relation is considered to be a repeatable position from which all opening and lateral mandibular movements begin and recording this position is a critical step in the fabrication of dentures. Any errors made while taking maxillo-mandibular jaw relation records will result in denture that are uncomfortable. The purpose of this paper is to review a very simple and efficient technique for accomplishing these two important steps in denture fabrication.

Inadequate or unstable posterior support cause extrusion of antagonistic teeth and overloading of remaining teeth. Extrusion of antagonistic teeth result in collapsed occlusal plane and decreased prosthetic space. Also, overloading of remaining teeth increase occlusal wear or anterior extrusion of anterior teeth, which is resulting in loss of anterior guidance, disharmony of occlusion and decreased prosthetic space. In this case, careful evaluation of OVD(occlusal vertical dimension) is the general first trial to regain appropriate function and esthetics. Simultaneously, adequate anterior guidance and harmonious occlusal plane should be established in the repeatable reference position of the mandible. We report this case because severely worn dentition achieved functional and esthetic results from full mouth rehabilitation with increased vertical dimension and use of centric relation.

Excessive teeth wear can lead to reduced chewing efficiency, occlusal plane collapse, and facial changes. Full mouth rehabilitation with a change in vertical dimension may cause pain in the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscle and teeth, so an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is required. In this case, a 69-year-old man had excessive teeth wear with a loss of posterior support. We evaluated the degree of adaptation to the increased vertical dimension with the removable occlusal splint and provisional restoration. We report this case because the treatment result has been functionally and aesthetically satisfactory by providing stable anterior guidance, proper posterior teeth disclusion, and even contact of all teeth in centric occlusion.

This research was carried out to compares the treatment effects of Horizontal and Vertical type activators in Angle's Class II div. 1 maloccusion patients with mandibular retrusion dand to find out whether different treatment effects or growth pattern were observed between sexes in each study groups. The results were as follows: 1. In Horizontal activator group, forward positioning of mandible and vertical increase in anteror face as examplified by increase of LAFH and AEM were observed when pre and post-treatment datas were evaluated. 2. Males samples in Horizontal activator group showed increase in mandiular length accmpanied by posterior positioning of maxilla, wheras female samples in Horizontal activator group showed increase in mandibular body length, labial inclination of mandibular incisors and increase in lower anterior facial height .3. In vertical activator group, increase in AFH, LAFH, PFH and LPFH were observed when pre and post treatment datas were evaluated. 4. Male samples in Vertical activator group showed increase in mandibular body length and anterior and posterior facial heights, whereas females samples of Vertical activator group showed mainly increase in anterior facial height. 5. When pre and post treatment datas of Horizontal and Vertical activator groups were compared, skeletal difference were mainly observed in pretreatment datas but dental difference were observed in post treatment datas ,indicating that two actiators differ only in their effects to dental variables. 6. Difference between sexes were noted after treatment although no difference were observed between sexs in each groups before treatmentt. This indicates that inherent growth effects in each sex exerts more influence 1km appliances used for treatment.
