Aim: To study the correlation between mandibular cephalometric\nmeasurements and VDO in young Chilean adults with complete dentition and known inclusion criteria,\nby using modified Knebelman\u2019s technique. Materials and Method: The study population consisted of 96\nyoung Chilean adults aged 18 to 35 years. Inclusion criteria were complete natural dentition, bilateral\nmolar support, skeletal class I or mild class II, presence of anterior coupling, and asymptomatic\ntemporomandibular joints. Exclusion criteria were prior or ongoing orthodontic treatment, having\nundergone orthognathic or other facial surgery, poor oral habits (mouth breathing, or lingual, labial\nor object interposition), severe dental crowding (IOTN score &gt; 2), too much beard and\/or soft tissue\nunder the chin. Anthropometric measurements were taken with a modified digital vernier caliper.\nMandibular cephalometric measurements were taken with the QuickCeph 2000 software on digital lateral\ncephalometric x-rays. All anthropometric and cephalometric measurements were taken by one operator.\nBased on the mandibular cephalometric measurements with the highest correlation, a mathematical\nmodel was proposed to predict the VDO [VDO\u2019 = (XAEO-STF)*0.3 + (R3R4 dist.)0.5 + (Go-Ar dist.)-\n0.3 + (Ar-Po Mand.Depth.)*0.4 \u2013 8], whose predictive capacity will be tested. Results: The three\ncephalometric measurements with highest correlation with VDO were selected. The resulting predictive\nmodel correlated significantly with actual VDO (r= 0.77), in addition to having significant correlation\nvalues according to the Bj\u00f6rk-Jarabak facial biotypes. Conclusions: The proposed mathematical model\ndemonstrated a strong correlation with the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion. It is a reliable method,\nuninfluenced by the patient\u2019s sex or biotype, and is useful for restoring the VDO within a physiological\nrange close to its original state.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.54589\/aol.37\/3\/237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T16:07:01Z","timestamp":1740931621000},"page":"237-245","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mandibular size as a predictor of vertical dimension of occlusion based on cephalometric analysis"],"prefix":"10.54589","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2933-6149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omar E","family":"G\u00e1rate-Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"31696","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"container-title":["Acta Odontol\u00f3gica Latinoamericana"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T16:07:08Z","timestamp":1740931628000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actaodontologicalat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/aol_2024_37_3_237.pdf"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.54589\/aol.37\/3\/237","relation":{},"ISSN":["1852-4834"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1852-4834","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
