When all teeth are lost, different landmarks have been employed to establish the occlusal plane. Hence, this study aims to compare the mandibular plane with the lower occlusal plane in dentulous patients. Methods A digital photograph of the right and left facial profiles was obtained of the angle between the intraoral occlusal plane (represented by a modified Fox plane) and mandibular plane (represented by a metallic scale placed on the lower border of the mandible) in a standard position. The angle was calculated using Microdicom software, and results were statistically analysed using Mann Whitney U test. Results The average angle between the occlusal plane and mandibular plane was 6 degrees and the difference in angle between the right and left sides was not statistically significant. Conclusions The lower occlusal and mandibular plane though not parallel to each other clinically, may serve as an initial guide in the establishment of the occlusal plane.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.179633.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]],"date-time":"2026-05-12T09:59:15Z","timestamp":1778579955000},"page":"710","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["EVALUATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MANDIBULAR PLANE AND LOWER OCCLUSAL PLANE IN FULLY DENTULOUS PATIENTS"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3233-975X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mallikarjuna","family":"Ragher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5552-2487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanath","family":"Kumar Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vidya","family":"Bhat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh","family":"Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Savitha","family":"Dandekeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanha","family":"Razdan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nafiya","family":"Abdul Aziz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PROSTHODONTICS Mangaluru Karnataka Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) Dental College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref2","first-page":"1694-1709","article-title":"Articulation defined, analyzed and formulated.","volume":"13","author":"R Hanau","year":"1926 Dec 1","journal-title":"J Am Dent Assoc (1922)."},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9-15","DOI":"10.4047\/jap.2013.5.1.9","article-title":"A determination of occlusal plane comparing different levels of the tragus to form ala-tragal line or Camper's line: A photographic study.","volume":"5","author":"S Kumar","year":"2013 Feb 1","journal-title":"The journal of advanced prosthodontics."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"572-575","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-849X.2008.00341.x","article-title":"Occlusal plane orientation: a statistical and clinical analysis in different clinical situations.","volume":"17","author":"S Jayachandran","year":"2008 Oct","journal-title":"Journal of Prosthodontics: Implant, Esthetic and Reconstructive Dentistry."},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"489-498","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3913(70)90198-8","article-title":"Occlusal plane determination.","volume":"23","author":"D Lundquist","year":"1970 May 1","journal-title":"J.
