ABSTRACT:
Vertical dimension of occlusion, i.e. the vertical dimension of the face with the posterior teeth fitting tightly together, is readily determined by a method comprising first measuring the distance between the external auditory meatus and the lateral corner of the occular orbit, making an adjustment in the first measurement to arrive at the factored distance and then positioning the mandible so that the distance between the nasal spine and the anterior part of the undersurface of the mandible corresponds to the factored distance. Gauging devices are disclosed for performing the method.
