Overview

Cross-sectional observational study shows intercanine distance as a valid metric for occlusal vertical dimension in dental students, indicating bilateral symmetry.

Key Points

  • Intercanine distance demonstrated strong bilateral symmetry, with mean values of 16.7 mm for the right side and 16.9 mm for the left side.
  • Clinical evaluation involved 210 dental students with complete dentition and healthy periodontium, supporting the overall mean value of 16.8 mm.
  • This research utilized a cross-sectional observational study approach to determine the intercanine distance and its impact on occlusal vertical dimension.
  • The findings imply that intercanine distance can serve as a stable anatomical reference in similar populations.
