Establishing an accurate vertical dimension at occlusal (VDO) is a challenge. Hence, we aim to find the association between the VDO and the Thumb Length (TL).
We piloted an observational study by evaluating the VDO and the TL among the Dravidian and Aryan ethnicities with 200 volunteers. The comparisons were made applying the "linear regression analysis" to find the correlation of both.
We observed that a strong and positive relation was established for the two parameters of VDO and TL for both the ethnicities.
We can suggest from our study that the thumb length can be used as an aid for the occlusal vertical dimension estimation.
确定准确的咬合垂直距离(VDO)是一项挑战。因此,我们旨在找出VDO与拇指长度(TL)之间的关联。
我们通过评估200名志愿者中达罗毗荼族和雅利安族的VDO和TL开展了一项观察性研究。应用“线性回归分析”进行比较以找出两者的相关性。
我们观察到,这两个族裔的VDO和TL这两个参数之间都建立了强烈的正相关关系。
从我们的研究中可以得出,拇指长度可用于辅助估计咬合垂直距离。
