vertical dimension is the important yet daunting task for successful prosthodontic therapy for function, esthetics and comfort to the edentulous patients. In the current study the relationship of various distances between facial landmarks to the OVD was tested in two ethnic groups of Nepal, viz. Aryans and Mongoloids. The result of this study can be useful in determining proper OVD in the patients who have lost the OVD. The aim of the study was to find the correlation between facial landmarks and OVD.Materials and methods: The OVD was measured using a Boley gauge from the prominent part of chin and nose. Other facial landmarks were also measured using the calipers in 200 adult volunteers.Results: The Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient was determined. \end{abstract} \keywords{occlusal vertical dimension, rima oris to pupil distance, eye-ear distance, vertical height of ear.} \begin{textblock*}{18cm}(1cm,1cm) % {block width} (coords) \textcolor{GJBlue}{\LARGE Global Journals \LaTeX\ JournalKaleidoscope\texttrademark} \end{textblock*} \begin{textblock*}{18cm}(1.4cm,1.5cm) % {block width} (coords) \textcolor{GJBlue}{\footnotesize \\ Artificial Intelligence formulated this projection for compatibility purposes from the original article published at Global Journals.

For a successful denture in terms of esthetics and function correct vertical dimension should be determined. \hyperref[b1]{2} In clinical practice, there exists no universal rule for determining correct vertical dimension at occlusion because of wide range of individual variation. \hyperref[b2]{3} Use of pre-extraction records, 4 maximum biting force, \hyperref[b4]{5} electrymyographic method, \hyperref[b5]{6} and cephalometric radiograph \hyperref[b6]{7} are some of the techniques utilized for determining occlusal vertical dimension. Millet et al. \hyperref[b7]{8} recommended using multiple methods, like physiologic rest position, swallowing, phonetic, esthetics and facial measurements. Distance between soft tissue landmarks of face was significantly correlated to occclusal vertical dimension. \hyperref[b9]{9} Author ? ? ?: Department of Prosthodontics, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal. e-mail: bishal\textunderscore bpkihs@yahoo.com\par The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between facial measurements and occlusal vertical dimension in two ethnic groups of Nepal. \section[{II.}]{II.} \section[{Materials and Methods}]{Materials and Methods}\par Two hundred subjects between 19 and 46 years (mean age 25 years) were randomly selected from among the students, staffs, patients and relatives of patients visiting the College of Dental Surgery, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. They were divided into two groups according to ethnicity, Aryans and Mongoloids. The inclusion criteria were full set of dentition, straight profile on visual examination, absence of malocclusion, no history of orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment. Each subject was instructed to relax the lips and close mouth in centric relation. The occlusal vertical dimension was measured between most prominent part of chin and nose. Other facial measurements measured were the distance between pupil of eye to corner of mouth (rima oris), distance between outer canthus of one eye to inner canthus of other eye, distance between outer canthus to midpoint of external auditory meatus and vertical height of ear. Independent sample t test was performed to test the difference of means of studied parameters in males and females and in Aryans and Mongoloids. Correlation between these facial measurements and occlusal vertical dimension was studied with Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) at the significance level ?0.05 and 95\% confidence interval. \section[{III.}]{III.} \section[{Results}]{Results}\par The mean occlusal vertical dimension of studied sample was 64.87±5.21 mm. In Aryans, it was mm and in Mongoloids mm. The tables 1-4 show the results of this study. It was found that males have significantly longer dimension of OVD. The difference of means of rima oris to pupil distance, vertical height of ear, distance between outer canthus of one eye to inner canthus of other eye and eye-ear distance between males and females was not statistically significant. As we compared two ethnicities (Table \hyperref[tab_2]{3}), it was found that OVD and rima oris to pupil distance were significantly longer in Mongoloids whereas eye-ear distance was significantly longer in Aryans than Mongoloids.\par The correlation between the facial measurements and occlusal vertical dimension was found statistically significant in both ethnicities (Table \hyperref[tab_3]{4}). However, the correlation between rima oris to pupil distance was stronger than the others. It was also noted that correlation between other facial measurements (eye-ear distance, distance between canthi and vertical height of ear) in Mongoloids was relatively weaker. Overall, rima oris to pupil distance was significantly correlated to occlusal vertical dimension (Table {\ref 5}) with stronger correlation than other facial measurements. p-value significant at ?0.05 level. Sig.-significant, NS-not significant IV. \section[{Discussion}]{Discussion}\par The loss of teeth results in poor appearance of lower third of face. The restoration of correct vertical dimension in those who have lost it should be in harmony with the upper part of face. Prosthodontists have long been seeking for universally accepted method of determining the OVD. There were methods like use of anterior teeth measurements \hyperref[b10]{10} , closest speaking space \hyperref[b11]{11} , swallowing method 12 , patient's neuromuscular perception \hyperref[b13]{13} , cephalometric radiographs \hyperref[b14]{14} , intra-oral and extra-oral anatomic landmarks \hyperref[b15]{15} and measurement of fingers. \hyperref[b16]{16} All of these methods possess some kinds of disadvantages. The present study gave some idea about facial measurement and their use in determining occlusal vertical dimension.\par In present study the occlusal vertical dimension was found 65.90±4.31 mm in male and 63.35±6.03 mm in female. These were found to be longer than the findigs of Ladda et al. \hyperref[b16]{16} (61.4±4.2 mm in male and 56.7±3.0 mm in female) and Kulakarni and Kohli 17 (54 to 59 mm in female and 62 to 65 mm in male). The distance between ANS and Me from cephalometric radiograph in Serbian population, was 67.87±5.67 mm in male and 61.51±5.06 mm in female. \hyperref[b6]{7} Similar measurements were observed in Iraqi adult population reported by Al-Hamadany \hyperref[b18]{18} where occlusal vertical dimension in 75 students was 66.74±6.468 mm. The OVD in males was 68.25±6.134 mm and in females, it was 63.99±6.254 mm. These values are consistent to that of current study.\par The correlation was statistically significant and positive with rima oris to pupil of eye (r=0.557), followed by distance between outer canthus of one eye to inner canthus of other eye (r=0.449) and eye-ear distance (r=0.395) and vertical height of ear (r=0.378). This is in contrast with the study done by Delic et al. \hyperref[b19]{19} The correlation of eye-ear distance (r=0.8676) was stronger than pupil to rima oris distance (r=0.4357) in their study. Rima-oris to pupil distance was longer than lower facial height by 3 cm in a study done in Phillipinos by Tina-Olaivar et al. \hyperref[b20]{20} The limitations of the study were only two ethnic groups were taken into consideration and the findings cannot be extrapolated to other races. Also, the sample investigations to endorse or refute the findings of present study in this part of world as most of studies are found pertaining to developed countries.\par V. \section[{Summary}]{Summary}\par Anthropometric measurements of facial landmarks were recorded for 200 subjects (100 Aryans and 100 Mongoloids) and correlation of facial measurements to occlusal vertical dimension was tested. Within the limitations of this study, we can conclude that the facial measurements are significantly correlated to the occlusal vertical dimension. Findings of this study will be helpful guide in determination of occlusal vertical dimension. size was very small to conclude the findings. The occlusal vertical dimension is not constant and dynamic. Therefore the anthropometric measurement in dentulous subjects can be an adjunct but not accurate for utilizing in edentulous patients.
