“…This patient-centered approach incorporates speech dynamics and directly influences denture wearers' satisfaction and adaptation. This aligns with previous research by Mishra et al, [19] that urged that changes in Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD) certainly affect functional activities such as chewing and speech due to their intrinsic relationship with the freeway space and the speaking space indicating the variability in adapting to new dentures and the influence of speech on patient experience. The present study further aligns with the broader literature that recognizes occlusion as a key determinant of prosthodontic success, impacting aesthetics, speech, and overall patient satisfaction [20].…”

There's a growing demand for better dental prosthetics that combine function, aesthetics, and comfort. The therapy for edentulous patients can be realized through the use of conventional Removable Complete Dentures (RCDs), implant-supported prostheses, and Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CADCAM). This study was aimed at evaluating the suitability of the established standard height of ORBs among the dental clinicians in Makerere University Dental Hospital in Uganda. This was a cross-sectional study employing a qualitative approach using purposive sampling. Fifteen (15) participants were selected across social demographics. Thematic data analysis revealed insights into the suitability of the established standard height of ORBs. Interviews were recorded and transcribed and themes were generated to draw deeper meaning for suitability. A qualitative package, Open code version 4.2.1 was used to generate themes from the interviews followed by an interpretation of the data generated, and the result was presented as text and table. The findings revealed a prevalent trend in Uganda where occlusal rim block heights often fall below international standards, emphasizing the need for a patient-centered and individualized approach. There's a positive shift towards new measurements, improving chair-side efficiency, and reducing appointment duration. The findings highlighted economic efficiency, minimizing material wastage, and positively impacting patient-reported outcomes. This study highlighted the need for tailored ORB guidelines for Ugandan edentulous patients for better treatment outcomes. This will save time during the registration stage and help to improve accuracy.

The purpose of this article is to explain the importance of evaluating and documenting the freeway space (interdental rest position), in initial examinations and at the completion of therapy in patients exhibiting an open mandibular resting position. The freeway space measurements obtained can be shared with parents, patients, and referral sources. To this end, the muscular, neural, and sensory components related to the freeway space are discussed, as well as airway, dental eruption patterns, tactile feedback, and orthodontic relapse considerations. An extraoral method for evaluating the dimensions of the anterior freeway space is proposed.
