“…Our study showed, higher values for OVD as well as length of fingers in male compared to female counterparts which is in accordance with the previous studies [9,13,14]. This may be due to sexual dimorphism seen in post pubertal age because of androgen exposure.…”

“…Our study also showed that mean N-Gn values for females was 65.64 mm which is lower than that done by Al Hajj et al of sudan, [11] and Nagpal of India [12], but higher than that of Basnet et al of Dharan, Nepal [9]. Mean (Sn-Me) values for females in our study was 58.13 mm which is lower than that of Bajracharya et al [13] of Nepal, but higher than that of Ladda et al of India [14].…”

INTRODUCTION: Determination of the proper vertical dimension during prosthesis construction is of paramount importance in treating patients with missing teeth. This study was conducted to correlate the measurement of finger length with occlusal vertical dimension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal among 145 MBBS and BDS students. Length of four fingers and vertical occlusal dimension were measured by two anatomical methods with the use of vernier calipers. Data were analysed in SPSS version 20. Mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage were calculated depending upon the nature of data. Pearson’s correlation was used to determine the relation between finger length with vertical occlusal dimension. RESULTS: Moderate positive correlation was found between occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) measuring tip of nose to gnathion and base of nose to menton with all four fingers (p<0.001 each). When compared for males and females, significant moderate correlation was found between OVD by both methods and anthropological measurements in all the four fingers in males (p<0.001 each) but only with index finger when OVD was measured from tip of nose to gnathion in females (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study concluded that all four fingers may be used for determination of OVD in males but only index finger may be used in females.

“…These factors can be influenced by race, gender, nutritional intake, and the type of food consumed during the period of growth and development. 15 The size of VDO was also influenced by the length of the ramus, the gonial angle of the mandible, and the eruption of the teeth. Mandibular ramus continued to grow when the growth process was still ongoing.…”

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
