When fabricating a new complete denture, increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion excessively most likely causes which clinical sign?

Excessive vertical dimension overcloses the freeway space, leading to muscle fatigue and soreness, TMJ discomfort, clicking teeth during speech, and difficulty achieving lip competence.Other options: Candida proliferation relates to tissue trauma/hygiene; phonetics worsen, not improve; the freeway space is reduced and symptomatic.Key exam takeaway: Too much VDO = muscle/TMJ soreness, clicking teeth, lip incompetence, reduced freeway space.
