Abstract
There is no precise scientific method for determining the correct edentulous occlusal vertical dimension. This study established the proportion between the ear-eye to chin-nose distance for determining reasonable occlusal vertical dimension. Two hundred white and 400 Asian men and women participated in this study. The ear-eye and chin-nose distances were measured with a modified craniometer. The results revealed that left ear-eye distance can be used to predict chin-nose distance with reasonable accuracy. However, the algorithm for making this prediction is not the same for combinations of sex and ethnic origin.Entities:
