“…The use of swallowing to obtain DVO in edentulous subjects is a functional method which is well recognized (Ismail & George, 1968; Alfano & Leupold, 2001). Previous findings are consistent with the results of VDO presented in this current study (Koller et al.…”

When constructing a complete denture, the correct vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and centric relation (CR) can be difficult to determine. The aim of this study was to compare the swallowing technique used to determine the maxillomandibular relationship with a conventional technique. Fifteen edentulous patients were selected, each having a complete denture. The VDO and CR were assessed using acrylic base plates and a Boley gauge. First, the VDO was established by means of the vertical dimension of rest (VDR) and interocclusal rest space, and the CR was obtained by mandibular manipulation. Secondly, the VDO and the antero-posterior mandibular position were determined using swallowing. All measurements were repeated three times and the average was calculated. The results showed that (i). the VDO determined by means of the swallowing method was reproducible and significantly higher than the one established from the VDR (P < 0.01), and (ii). the swallowing position was located 2 mm anterior to CR (P < 0.01) and was moderately reproducible. This study suggests that swallowing can be used to determine the vertical position but no as a reference position in the sagittal plane.

“…The former approach has included the closest speaking space 29,30) , profile tracing 12) , lingual frenum attachment 1,9) , intra-oral tattoos, and many other methods 2,31) . In edentulous patients, other techniques have been proposed, such as the physiologic rest position 14,25) , swallowing method 17,20) , facial measurements [22][23][24]26) , cephalometrics 27,32) , and many others 10,34) . In edentulous patients, however, the rest position has long been the standard approach to establishing the OVD.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between the length of each of three fingers (the index finger, 2D; ring finger, 4D; and little finger, 5D) and the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). If such a relationship were established, it would simplify and facilitate the prediction and reestablishment of the OVD in the construction of complete dentures. The correlation between the OVD and the length of 2D or 5D has already been investigated in a number of studies. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the relationship between the length of 4D and the OVD. A total of 117 adult Sudanese women were enrolled in this study. The distance from tip of the finger to the second crease was measured using a digital caliper. The OVD was established based on two measurements: one from the septum of the nose to the menton of the chin; and the other from the tip of the nose (N) to the gnathion at the tip of the chin (Gn). All data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between variables. Differences between means were determined using a paired-sample t-test. The p-value was set at 0.05. A significant correlation was found between finger length and the OVD. However, this correlation was significantly higher between 2D and the OVD based on N-Gn. The present findings indicate that 2D can be used to predict the OVD in adult Sudanese women.

“…As these are objective measurements rather than subjective criteria such as resting jaw position 12 or swallowing 13 so the guesswork in VDO is eliminated. This method is attractive and practical because it is simple, economic, noninvasive, reliable, requires no radiographs or sophisticated measuring devices and provides reproducible values for future reference.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The aim of this study was to find the correlation between vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) with length of fingers and distance from hair line to nasion. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 dentate subjects comprising of 200 males and 200 females. Anthropometric measurements of VDO, length of index finger, length of little finger and distance from hair line to nasion were recorded clinically using digital vernier caliper. Correlation between VDO and length of fingers and distance from hair line to nasion was studied using Pearson"s correlation method. Results: VDO was significantly and positively correlated with all the parameters studied in females but not in males. In females, VDO had strongest correlation for length of little finger (r-0.550, p value<0.001) followed by length of index finger(r-0.413, p value<0.001), measured distance from hairline to nasion (r-0.294, p value<0.001) in the Gujarati populations. In males VDO was correlated with length of little finger(r-0.375, p value<0.001) but not with other 2 parameters studied. Conclusion: In females, pearson"s correlation for little finger is 0.550 and p value is less than 0.001, so length of liitle finger is the best parameter to predict VDO in females. Prediction of VDO through this method is reliable, and reproducible, this method is also simple, economic, and non-invasive; hence, it could be recommended for everyday practice. Abbreviations VDO= vertical dimension at occlusion.
