Abstract :

 

Aim:

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between edentulous est face height and complete denture intercuspal position.

Materials and methods: complete dentures were faicated for 40 edentulous patients. Two standard lateral cephalograms were made of the patient at the second recall visit. The paired radiographs were then traces on acetate paper and the distance between the reference points was measured to the nearest of 0.5mm.

Results: by the application of paired’t’ test, it was concluded that there is no statistical difference between the two variables with p=0.1424, thus the null hypothesis regarding the differences between the vertical dimension of rest and occlusion cannot be rejected.

Conclusion: from the results of study it can be concluded that’

 

1.      There is no statistical difference between vertical dimension at rest and vertical dimension of occlusion.

2.      Results agree with recent observation n variability of rest position.

3.      Clinical judgment plays a major role in the assessment of vertical height of occlusion
