 note = {application/pdf, Purpose: The measurement of facial morphology in order to determine occlusal vertical dimension has been considered important in fabricating complete denture. The present study obtained basic data about the applicability of a facial morphological measuring method using digital camera pictures in comparison with the standard method by using dental calipers. Methods: Thirty male clinical staff (25-47 years old) with healthy natural dentition were recruited as subjects. Digital pictures of the subjects were taken with each in the frontal direction with the mandible at the intercuspal position. Using an image processing program, both the distances from the pupil of the eye to the parting line of the lips and from the base of the nose to the lower edge of the mandible were measured. These distances were compared with those measured directly on the subject's face using dental calipers. Results: On the digital pictures, both distances from the pupil of the eye to the rima oris and from the base of the nose to the lower edge of the mandible were 72.2±3.4mm and 66.1±3.9mm on the average, respectively. Moreover, regarding the distance from the base of the nose to the lower edge of the mandible, simple regression analysis demonstrated that values derived from the digital camera were positively correlated with those from dental calipers (R^2=0.51, p<0.01). Conclusions: Neither result derived from the methods examined in this study fit the theory proposed by Willis. The possibility of applying a digital camera to the measurement of facial morphology was indicated.},
