Increased vertical dimension of occlusion [VDO] in complete dentures is a common occurrence due to the fact that a method for its accurate, reliable, and convenient determination is unavailable. An approach to the re-establishment of a correct VDO is described in this study. The suggested method involves shortening of the denture teeth using guides, which is simple, time-saving, and inexpensive.
