Abstract

Correlation of length of palm, width of palm, thumb height, length of ear with vertical dimension of occlusion in dentate subjects- an observational study. AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the correlation of length of palm, width of palm, thumb height, length of ear with vertical dimension of occlusion in dentate subjects. An observational study. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria 318 participants was selected. Anthropometric measurements of vertical dimension of occlusion, length of palm, width of palm, thumb height, length of ear were recorded by using digital vernier calliper. After that statistical analysis of the data was done by Spearman correlation coefficient analysis. RESULTS: On the basis of Spearman correlation coefficient test, it showed that there is significant correlation between vertical dimensions of occlusion maximum with thumb height, the p value is .000 and it correlation value is .619, then with ear height with the p value .000 with its correlation value as .555. , then with width of palm the p value is .000 and correlation value is .487 and then with length of palm the p value is .004 and correlation value is .161.
