[Certain experiences in sequential treatment of occlusal reconstruction].

Occlusal reconstruction is a complex sequential treatment. The treatment may involve changes in occlusal vertical dimension and the full dental arch occlusal surface reconstruction. In this paper, we discussed the most concerned aspects of prosthodontists during the occlusal reconstruction sequential treatment, how to determine the suitable occlusal vertical dimension, rebuilding of occlusal plane, and consideratiom of temporomandibular joint disorders during reconstruction treatment. The prosthodontists should adopt the multidisciplinary collaboration mode of thinking in analysis, design, treatment, and restoration processes, regarding patients' individual characteristic through the occlusal reconstruction sequential treatment, and to reach healthy, functional, aesthetic outcome eventually.
