Increasing the occlusal vertical dimension for gaining sufficient restoration space in the management of severely worn dentition is being practiced. This contentious belief has lead to challenging thoughts regarding its effects on the Odonto-stomatognathic system. There are basic uncertainties and existing erroneous thoughts regarding the perception of increasing the occlusal vertical dimension. This manuscript will review the bite raising concepts and its outcome on the stomatognathic system.
