TLDR
This study aims to correlate the vertical dimension at occlusion to 13 anthropometric measurements and finds that twice the length of the eye and distance between thetip of the thumb and tip of the index finger is closest to the Vertical dimension at Occlusion in male patients and that vertical distance from the pupil to corner of the mouth, vertical height of the ear is closest in female patients.Abstract:
Background: Leonardo de Vinci contributed several observations and drawings on facial proportion and the lower one third of the face. Many facial and body measurements to determine vertical dimension at occlusion. These facial measurements can be implemented in construction of complete denture patients. Aim: This study aims to correlate the vertical dimension at occlusion to 13 anthropometric measurements. Then correlating, which measurement is more accurate to the vertical dimension at occlusion.Methodology: 20 male and female subjects were selected. Vertical dimension at occlusion and 12 anthropometric parameters were measured. Results and Conclusion: Twice the length of the eye and distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the index finger is closest to the vertical dimension at occlusion in male patients and that vertical distance from the pupil to corner of the mouth, vertical height of the ear is closest to the vertical dimension at occlusion in female patients.read more

A Study to Evaluate the Vertical Dimension at Occlusion Using the Intercanthal Width as a Reference
TL;DR: The distance between the outer and inner canthus can be a reliable landmark, which can be used for anthropometric measurements to record vertical dimension in edentulous patients requiring complete dentures along with other existing methods.

Examination of facial measurement on the image using a noncontact three-dimensional measurement device
TL;DR: In this article , a noncontact three-dimensional measurement device was used for the scanning of the face both in the holding by hand and the fixing to the camera stands situations, and the distances between subnasal and gnathion, pupil and oral slit, middle of glabella and subnasals, and right and left corners of the mouth were measured on the scanned face image and compared with the actual values.

Clinical assessment of vertical dimension
TL;DR: Methods of assessing and recording vertical jaw relations in edentulous patients have been presented and evaluated but when no accurate pre-extraction records exist, the dentist must rely upon esthetic appearance supplemented by aids which are often misleading.

TL;DR: This report will discuss the accuracy and repeatability of two simple methods of determining vertical dimension of occlusion: the Sorenson Profile Scale (Dento-Profile Scale Co., Fond du lac, Wis.) and measurement of vertical dimension from the base of the nasal septum to the inferior border of the chin as shown by Smith.

Vertical dimension measurements.
TL;DR: The edentulous mandibular rest position does not seem particularly suitable for determination of the vertical dimension of occlusion and appears somewhat less suitable when facial measurements are used.
