Vertical dimension is a vertical height of the face that can be determined by muscle relation and physiologic rest position. Vertical dimension of rest position is usually used as a reference point in vertical dimension of occlusion measurement. The aim of the study was to compare the vertical dimension of rest measurement by phonetic, photograph measurement and photo analysis method. 30 subjects within age 19-25 years, Angle class I malocclusion, has complete teeth, not wear dentures and orthodontics appliances, normal overjet and overbite, and no face deformities or asymmetry were measured. Phonetic method was done by measured the distance between tip of nose and chin with digital vernier caliper while subject pronounce the letter m. Subjects were photographed with distance 56 cm from the tip of the nose to the lens while the subjects pronounce letter m. Photograph measurement method, photo was print and the vertical dimension of rest was measured. Photo analysis method, vertical dimension of rest was measured using Corel Draw X5 application. The results of one way ANOVA showed no significant differences between vertical dimension of rest measurement from phonetic, photograph measurement and photo analysis method. In conclusion, there is no vertical dimension of rest measurement differences between phonetic, photograph measurement and photo analysis method. |
