Background: Maintenance of freeway space is ofclinical value inoral rehabilitation of patients and requires understanding of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Its establishment dependson perception of the dentist and demonstrates both intra and inter operator variability. Cephalometric indicators in conjunction with clinical parameters can be used with high degree of accuracy as an alternative predictable method of establishing OVD in the absence of occlusal units. This retrospective study aimed to provide certain customised indicators which may be used to in conjunction with prosthodontic clinicalparameters to optimise the much elusive but complex reconstructed occlusion.
