| Summary: | <p>Determination of the vertical dimension is based on patient's resting jaw position, which is the physiological vertical dimension. <strong>Objective: </strong>To examine the accuracy of physiological vertical dimension using digital photography. <strong>Methods: </strong>The research was done on 64 students who meet the criterias. The measurements of eyes-lips angles and lower nose-chin distance was performed. Then photo shoot of subject faces was taken from 56cm distance between the camera lens and the tip of the subjects’ nose with tripoded camera. <strong>Results: </strong>Distance of eyes-lips angles, and lower the nose-chin of the face and the photo has no meaningful differences.<strong> Conclusions: </strong>Analysis of digital photos can be applied to predict physiological vertical dimension.</p><p>DOI: 10.14693/jdi.v18i2.62</p> |
