Anthropometric Measurements for Determination of Occlusal Vertical Dimension in Relation to Eye

Objective: To determine the mean vertical dimension of occlusion among dentate population by using different anthropometric measurements in relation to eye. Study Design and Setting: It was a cross sectional study conducted at outpatient department prosthodontics, Liaquat University Medical Health Sciences, Jamshoro from March –Sep-2019. Methodology: Five eye characteristics were measured. The distance between outer canthus one inner opposite is measured millimeters, rima oris distance, interpupillary mid pupil tragus distance. Data analyzed SPSS Version 20. Mean SD for age distinction right left pupil, tragus. outcome assessed gender stratification. groups compared t -test. Results: Total n=100 patients with complete dentitition included data collection. 22.75±1.86 years. (OVD) 67.73±1.02 mm. inter 63.13±2.95mm, 61.21±1.67mm, 67.46±1.53mm ear 70.04±1.68mm Conclusion: OVD index identifies precise dimensions as being present populations. This could be used clinical setting before other methods estimate provide general sense patient's dimension.
