The Vertical Dimension of Occlusion with Analog and Digital Flow
by Alessandro Galluzzi,

Abstract
Every day in our clinics, patients with very high aesthetic requests present themselves. Is it always possible to satisfy them? Improving a smile means focusing our attention only on the teeth of the frontal group, or should we restore a more complex harmony by evaluating the macro-aesthetics of the face? Increasingly, the transition from analog to digital protocols is proposed to us. What does digital represent in dentistry today? What are the real potentials and improvements that a dentist could benefit from using the new technologies available? What are the new digital technologies available to dentists and what is their correct usage? The current focus is on masticatory function and dynamics. Is it possible to record the real jaw movements and the actual function of the patient for the creation of individual prosthetics in dynamics? Analysis of the restoration of occlusal vertical dimension: from analog to digital. The Vertical Box technique: how to restore the vertical dimension of occlusion with digital flow.
