A Rack Case of Establishment in Vertical Stop for the Posterior Bitecollapse

Abstract

In the treatment of occlusal disintegration accompanied by severe periodontal disease, a treatment plan based on a diagnosis considering the harmony of the teeth, periodontal tissue, temporoman-dibular joint, and the neuromuscular system and repeated re-consideration with progression of treatment are necessary. By these procedures, long-standing dental treatment effects can be obtained. In particular, when occlusal stability is considered, vertical stop is as important as anterior guidance.
Vertical stop is classified into the rigid tooth borne type, the implant type, the tissue borne plate denture type, and their combination. When possible, the tooth borne type vertical stop without movement subsidence that can be involved in the neuromuscular system is desirable.
