MediTek Dental VDO Gauge Set (Apollo & Venus)
The MediTek Dental VDO Gauge Set gives you an Apollo gauge and a Venus gauge in one kit, so you can measure vertical dimension of occlusion with confidence. It is made for dentists, prosthodontists, implant teams, and dental lab technicians who work on complete dentures, partial dentures, and All-on-X prostheses. Each VDO gauge is cut from AISI 304 German stainless steel and carries laser-etched markings that stay readable after repeated sterilization.
Why Accurate VDO Measurement Matters
Vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is the height of the face when the teeth meet in full contact. When a patient has no teeth, nothing in the mouth shows that height, so the clinician has to set it. Clinical reviews describe this as a challenge in complete denture work, and they note that no single method is perfect. That is why a dependable dental gauge is useful. It does not replace your judgement. It gives you a clear number to record, compare, and repeat at every visit.
Small errors in VDO show up in the patient’s face and bite:
- A bite set too low can shorten the lower face and affect appearance.
- A bite set too high can cause strain, trouble closing the lips, and sore tissue.
What Is Included in the Dental VDO Gauge Set
This VDO gauge set contains two instruments:
- Apollo gauge: for facial height readings during denture and prosthesis planning.
- Venus gauge: a second profile that lets you check a reading against the first.
Taking a reading with two gauges is a simple way to confirm your VDO measurement before you send a case to the lab.
Key Features of the MediTek VDO Gauge
AISI 304 German Stainless Steel
AISI 304 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel grade used widely in medical and food-contact tools. The gauges have a smooth, polished finish that is easy to wipe clean and resists staining. The body is rigid, so readings do not drift after months of daily use.
Laser-Etched Markings
Printed scales can wear off in a busy clinic. These markings are etched into the metal with a laser, so they stay sharp through handling, cleaning, and autoclave cycles. High contrast makes them easy to read at chairside, which helps you avoid estimating by eye.
Autoclavable and Reusable
The set is fully autoclavable and made for repeated steam sterilization. One set can serve many patients, which keeps the cost per use low.
CE Marked with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 Compliance
The set is CE marked and made under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality standards. It also carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty, so you know what to expect from the product.
Where to Use These Dental Gauges
- Complete dentures: set the starting VDO for fully edentulous patients.
- Partial dentures: confirm bite height when few teeth remain to guide you.
- All-on-X prostheses: record vertical dimension before and during full-arch implant treatment. Pair the set with your dental implant instruments for a complete workflow.
- Full-mouth reconstructions: document vertical dimension before bite changes.
How to Take a VDO Measurement with the Gauge
Your own protocol comes first. This general sequence shows where the gauge fits:
- Seat the patient upright and relaxed. Mark two fixed points on the face, such as below the nose and on the chin.
- Measure the distance between the points at rest and write it down.
- Place the occlusal rims or trial denture and bring the patient to the planned bite.
- Measure the same two points again.
- Compare both readings. The difference is your freeway space, which is commonly kept around 2 to 4 mm.
- Confirm the result with speech and appearance checks, then record all values in the patient chart.
How This Set Differs from Basic Marketplace Listings
Many VDO gauge listings online give a short title and one line about stainless steel. This MediTek set states each point clearly:
- The exact steel grade: AISI 304 German stainless steel.
- The marking method: permanent laser etching.
- The sterilization route: full autoclave compatibility.
- The compliance details: CE mark, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485.
- The warranty: 3 years from the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VDO gauge used for in dentistry?
A VDO gauge measures facial height so the dentist can set and record the vertical dimension of occlusion. It is most often used for complete dentures, partial dentures, and full-arch implant prostheses.
Why does the set include both an Apollo and a Venus gauge?
Two gauges let you take a reading and then check it with a second profile. This adds confidence to your VDO measurement before the case moves to the lab.
Can the VDO gauges be autoclaved?
Yes. The set is fully autoclavable and reusable. Clean the gauges first, pouch them, and follow your clinic’s sterilization protocol.
What material and certifications does the set have?
The gauges are made from AISI 304 German stainless steel. The set is CE marked and complies with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 manufacturing standards.
Is the gauge set suitable for All-on-X cases?
Yes. It is made for removable prosthodontics, full-mouth reconstructions, and All-on-X frameworks, where an accurate recorded vertical dimension is important.
How much freeway space should I leave after measuring VDO?
Many clinicians aim for roughly 2 to 4 mm of freeway space. The right figure depends on the patient, so use the gauge readings together with your clinical judgement.
Summary
The MediTek Dental VDO Gauge Set (Apollo & Venus) gives dental professionals two laser-etched, AISI 304 stainless steel gauges for accurate vertical dimension readings in dentures and All-on-X cases. Unlike thin marketplace listings, it clearly states its steel grade, sterilization method, CE and ISO compliance, and 3-year warranty. It is a durable, autoclavable tool that helps you record VDO with confidence at every visit.
