Overview

Cross-sectional study establishes a model linking finger length to occlusal vertical dimension, suggesting clinical applicability.

Key Points

  • The study finds a significant correlation between index finger length and occlusal vertical dimension.
  • Average occlusal vertical dimension among participants was measured at 7.17 cm, with a notable association with finger lengths.
  • Bivariate and multivariate analyses, including a Generalized Linear model, were used to derive the best fit equation.
  • This model may aid in quicker occlusal vertical dimension estimations, particularly in edentulous patients.
