Abstract
Vertical dimension at occlusion (VDO) is the distance between two selected anatomic point usually on the tip of nose and the chin, which is measured by using Niswonger’s method in edentulous patient. Freeway space is the distance between occluding surfaces of upper and lower teeth when the mandible is in physiologic rest position. This study was carried out to find correlation between VDO measured by Niswonger’s method and length of index fingers measured by vernier caliper and to find correlation between VDO measured by Niswonger’s method and the length of thumb measured by vernier caliper
Keywords: Vertical dimension at occlusion, Niswonger’s method, length of index fingers
