What\u27s Driving bepress Strategy in 2018?

At bepress we are passionate about developing based on the feedback we’ve received from our community. In 2018 we are building solutions in three areas that have often proved challenging for our users: showcasing more of your content, increasing your impact, and doing whatever we can to make your jobs easier. We’ve chosen these three development areas based on comments from the bepress user community, and we look forward to continuing to have customers pilot new features and provide real-time, honest feedback. This feedback leads to the development of the best possible features and products. In this session we’ll be sharing more about our development philosophy, as well as sharing about recent and upcoming developments. Some of our 2018 projects include exploring new solutions to populate your repositories and faculty profiles, discoverability of your content and making available new ways to reflect and share your success, and delving more into accessibility, privacy and security, and researching areas that will enhance your experience with our platform, like interoperability of bepress products with other systems

Full mouth rehabilitation of the patient with severely worn dentition: a case report

The severe wear of anterior teeth facilitates the loss of anterior guidance, which protects the posterior teeth from wear during excursive movement. The collapse of posterior teeth also results in the loss of normal occlusal plane and the reduction of the vertical dimension. This case report describes 77-year-old female, who had the loss of anterior guidance, the severe wear of dentition, and the reduction of the vertical dimension. Occlusal overlay splint was used after the decision of increasing vertical dimension by anatomical landmark, facial and physiologic measurement. Once the compatibility of the new vertical dimension had been confirmed, interim fixed restoration and the permanent reconstruction was initiated. This case reports that a satisfactory clinical result was achieved by restoring the vertical dimension with an improvement in esthetics and function
