Overview

Cross-sectional evaluation shows strong correlation of gingival zenith distance in adults for measuring occlusal vertical dimension, suggesting clinical validity.

Key Points

  • The study assesses intercanine gingival zenith distance as a reliable method to determine occlusal vertical dimension.
  • Data from 210 dental students revealed a mean intercanine distance of 16.8 mm with bilateral symmetry (correlation 0.859).
  • Significant differences in measurements were noted between male and female participants, averaging 1.15 mm higher for males.
  • The findings support the use of biometric measurements as anatomical references for occlusal vertical dimension in dental practices.
