Objective: to determine the clinical use of the cephalometric register of the occlussive vertical dimension in patients with bruxism and temporomandibular disorders tributary of integral rehabilitator treatment. Methods: a quasi-experimental study was performed before and after with a control group in the third level consultation of dentistry assistance of Dental Occlusion and Temporomandibular Joint at Ismael Clark y Mascaro teaching dental clinic from September 2015 to May 2018 in Camaguey province.

The research was carried out in three moments: organization, intervention and assessment. Results: patients with wear facets type E 2 predominated, the diminished vertical dimension and the conservation of the occlusive vertical dimension and six months later of the integral rehabilitator treatment stand out.
