Relationship of Facial Measurement for Determining the Vertical Dimension in Young Adult Saudi Students

There is no specific scientific method for determining the correct edentulous occlusal vertical dimension. In this study, the establishment of the proportion between the ear-eye to chin-nose distance to determine occlusal vertical dimension. 200 dentulous Saudi students participated in this study. The chin-nose and eareye (right & left) distances were measured; the results showed that there is a correlation between these measurements; also this study showed that this facial measurement may be used to predict chin-nose distance and determining occlusal vertical dimension in edentulous patients of the Saudi population in combination with some other methods, which have proved to be helpful .
