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.
