【 摘 要 】

Purpose It is a widely known that there is a relationship between the anatomical dimensions in the human body structures due to the convergence of growth and development processes. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and body height and skull diameter. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 61 Chilean eugnathic individuals (33 males and 28 females) with a mean age of 23.4+- 2.9 years old. The OVD, height of each individual, and the radiographic antero-posterior cranial diameter was measured. Results The variables were associated using a multiple regression analysis. Based on the analysis, a predictive model to estimate an occlusal vertical dimension with a correlation coefficient r = 0.702 was obtained. Conclusions The occlusal vertical dimension is significantly correlated with the height and anteroposterior radiographic cranial diameter. A predictive model, represented by the following equation is proposed: OVDx = ((Height) × (0.28)) + ((Gl-Op) × (0.26))–(25.53).
