“…Research conducted by Torres et al (2020) in the Peruvian population regarding the correlation between VDO and the length of the fingers, obtained the result that there was a correlation between VDO and the length of the middle finger with a correlation coefficient value of 0.31. 24 Research by Nazir S et al (2015) also obtained results of a correlation between VDO and the length of the middle finger in males with a value of r = 0.363. 8 Both studies stated that there was a correlation between VDO and the length of the middle finger.…”

Background: Determining the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) was one of the procedures required to create a complete denture. VDO was the height of the lower third of the face that connected the distance between the subnation point found in the craniofacial and the gnation point on the mandible. The methods in determining VDO were very diverse, but there were no methods that considered as highly accurate presently. Hence, several methods of determining VDO were needed to obtain more accurate results. The finger length anthropometry method was a method that has been widely used as an alternative method in determining VDO because it was considered accurate, not invasive, cheap, and easy to implement. Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between the vertical dimensions of occlusion and the anthropometric length of fingers. Material and Method: The study was conducted by using the literature review method with the narrative review procedure. Research using Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. Results: The results of the study of 22 articles reviewed had a positive correlation between VDO and all lengths of the fingers of the hand. The finger that had the strongest correlation with VDO in males was the index finger (r=0.804) and in females was the little finger (r=0.937) Conclusion: All fingers could be used as an alternative method in determining the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion.Keywords: Anthropometry, Finger length, Vertical Dimension of Occlusion

“…Other anthropometric approaches for finding the correlation between VDO and finger length were used independently by Bhandari's and Sihuay-Torres's teams [29,95,96]. Bhandari et al suggested that the little finger length almost equals the VDO, but although Sihuay-Torres et al found a correlation between the index, middle and little finger and the VDO, they still recommended the method as a supplementary one [95,96]. Since no ongoing research has confirmed the scientific value and reliability of these methods, they should be performed cautiously or confirmed with the corresponding methods.…”

Recording the jaw relations is a critical step during the fabrication of complete dentures. Both vertical and horizontal relations must be correctly established to ensure efficient function of the complete dentures with the least amount of trauma to the supporting tissues and temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The aim of this review was to collect comprehensive data about the most recommended methods for determining the optimal vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) during the fabrication of complete dentures and to determine whether and/or to what extent these methods respect the correct spatial relations in TMJs. An electronic search through the PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, SCOPUS and EBSCO search engines selected 111 references from peer-reviewed journals, which met the inclusion criteria for this literature review. The single, exclusive and scientifically confirmed consensus for the determination of both the VDO and centric relation during complete denture fabrication is still lacking. Authors agree that the establishment of an incorrect relation between the maxilla and mandible causes severe, mostly harmful consequences in the stomatognathic system. So far the available procedures are associated with a high degree of subjective clinical judgements and variability. Thus, ongoing studies with the application of new technologies are still current and strongly recommended.

The prevalence of edentulism is pandemic and people resort to complete dentures for the restoration of missing teeth and esthetics. However, the determination of the correct occlusal vertical dimensions (OVD) constitutes to play an important role in overall patient satisfaction. The objective of this study was to apply anthropometric methods to correlate the length of index finger (2D) to measure the OVD from base of the nose to the base of the chin (Sn–Me) and to assess satisfaction by comparing both the methods. A total of 80 edentulous patients were randomized and controlled for this trial into experimental and control groups. A correlation was found between Sn–Me and finger measurements, dentures’ satisfaction was assessed after a 1-week follow-up and marked according to the Visual Analog Scale. Our findings established that finger measurements are greater among males, and in both genders, positive, and statistically significant correlations exist between the facial and finger length measurements. Moreover, 97.0% patients from experimental group were satisfied with the use of complete dentures through the new anthropometric method. Hence measuring the length of index finger can be an adjunct method for the restoration of OVD and is a relatively time-effective and simple method with a satisfactory follow-up.Trial registration: ID: NCT05153213 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05153213).
