An anthropometric study to evaluate the correlation between the occlusal vertical dimension and length of the thumb.

TLDR
The result implies that thumb length can be used as an adjunct for establishing OVD in the edentulous patients within the limitations of the present study.
Abstract
Background Establishment of proper occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is one of the important tasks for successful prosthodontic therapy. An ideal method for determining OVD in terms of cost, time, and instrument requirements has been sought in prosthodontics by various investigators. However, no such single method has been formulated. In the current anthropometric study, the relationship of the length of the thumb to the OVD was tested in two ethnic groups of Nepal, Aryans, and Mongoloids. The result of this study can be useful in determining proper OVD in edentulous patients.

Determination of occlusal vertical dimension for complete dentures patients: an updated review.

TL;DR: There is no single accurate method for OVD determination and to overcome the limitations of the techniques, the clinician will benefit from applying combination of techniques to approximate the OVD.

comparative evaluation of the inter occlusaldistance and closest speaking space in different angles occlusion classes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined IOD in different-occlusion-classes in Iranian population and found that IOD may be different in Angle class I, II, and III.

Correlation between Finger Length and Occlusal Vertical Dimension in Adult Sudanese Women.

TL;DR: 2D can be used to predict the OVD in adult Sudanese women according to the correlation between the length of each of three fingers and the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD).

An anthropometric study to evaluate the correlation of vertical dimension at rest and length of thumb: A multi-national, multi-centre pilot study

TL;DR: There was an overall positive correlation between TL and VDR in patients with and without orthodontic treatment and the regression equations presented in this article could help clinicians in their clinical practice and researchers to conduct future trials.

The speaking method in measuring vertical dimension

TL;DR: The measurement of vertical dimension by use of the speaking method with its closest speaking space has been found in my experience to be the missing link in successful full denture construction and will prove most valuable to dentists doing occlusal reconstruction and to periodontists in the treatment of their patients.
