Occlusal Vertical Dimension and Its Association with Length of Thumb: An Original Research

Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Establishing an accurate vertical dimension at occlusal (VDO) is a challenge. Hence, we aim to find the association between the VDO and the Thumb Length (TL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We piloted an observational study by evaluating the VDO and the TL among the Dravidian and Aryan ethnicities with 200 volunteers. The comparisons were made applying the “linear regression analysis” to find the correlation of both. RESULTS: We observed that a strong and positive relation was established for the two parameters of VDO and TL for both the ethnicities. CONCLUSION: We can suggest from our study that the thumb length can be used as an aid for the occlusal vertical dimension estimation.
