Determination of the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion with anthropometric measurements, based on a predictive model
Keywords:
occlusal vertical dimension, predictive model, anthropometric measurement, determination.Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the use of anthropometric measures for the determination of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO).
Materials and Methods: A search was executed using Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Embase, and SciELO databases employing the keywords (“occlusal vertical dimension”, “predictive model”, “anthropometric measurement”, “determination”) and Boolean connectors AND and OR, including articles from 2015 to 2020, excluding those articles with a language other than English or Spanish, as well as those not related to the research topic or its purposes.
Results: Of 70 articles found, 8 were excluded due to duplication, 41 were excluded because they were not related to the topic, and 21 were selected. Of the selected articles, 2 were narrative reviews, 1 was a retrospective study, and 18 were clinical studies.
Conclusion: The use of predictive models provides a new dimension to the anthropometric method, with greater modulation and accuracy. However, it is necessary to extend this method to more populations since Morata's model14 is valid only for the Chilean. Until that happens, it is recommended to use a combination of different methods to obtain an average VDO.
