A thickness of material should be placed on the incisal/occlusal aspect of those teeth where the creation of interocclusal space is necessary. No mucosal-bone component should be involved Thickness of the material placed should directly correspond to the required amount of inter-occlusal space, which will determine the increased in OVD as measured at a specific site in the mouth. An occlusal bite platform should be constructed ideally to ensure the occlusal forces are directed along the long axis of teeth.
