A bstract — —The distances between the cephalometric points of 380 patients with complete natural dental arches were measured. A correlation between the bizygomatic, nasion‐subnasal and subnasal‐gnathion distances and the vertical dimension was established and a mathematical formula was derived to enable determination of both the physiologic rest position and vertical dimension at centric occlusion in edentulous patients.
