Establishing an accurate occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) remains fundamental for prosthetic rehabilitation. Historically, a 40 mm vertical reference has been widely cited; however, this value was derived from dentate adult populations using cast-based measurements....
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
No actionable change for audiologists — this study is focused on dental prosthetics and jaw measurement, with no direct relevance to audiology clinical practice.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
While temporomandibular and craniofacial anatomy can intersect with audiology, this study is primarily a dental prosthetics methods paper with negligible direct impact on the audiology field.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01A 3D coordinate-based system for measuring occlusal vertical dimension (jaw height for denture fitting) was developed and pilot-tested.
