Objective: The aim of this research was to compare the occlusal vertical dimension as determined by the Knebelman method and the Willis method in adult patients. Methodology: An inductive method with a quantitative approach was applied. The research was correlational. The sample consisted of 66 adult patients treated at the Odontofresh Dental Clinic, where measurements were taken according to the Knebelman and Willis methods, as well as determining the distance between the base of the nose and the chin. Results: It was found that the average distance between the base of the nose and the chin was 50.67 mm in women and 51.21 mm in men. According to the Knebelman method, the most accurate results were 64.03 mm in women and 64.94 mm in men. According to the Willis method, the results were 48.7 mm for women and 4.39 mm for men. The Wilcoxon signed-rank statistical test showed a significance of 0.000 and 0.002 for the Knebelman and Willis methods, respectively. Conclusion: There are significant differences between the occlusal vertical dimension and those determined by the Knebelman and Willis methods in adult patients at Odontofresh Clinic in 2022.

Relationship between the facial biotype and the vertical dimension in patients of the Ortoexcelencia dental clinic in the year 2021.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-25) Diapis Perez, Milagro del Carmen; Guevara Sotomayor, Juan César
The sample consisted of 168 patients who visited the dental clinic. Each patient was carefully informed about the present research, and after the patient's consent was obtained, the informed consent form was provided. Points of reference were marked on the face, and the required measurements for determining the variables were taken using a digital caliper. The results were recorded in a data collection form. Methodology: This study was conducted using a database in the Excel program, with graphs and tables provided. For statistical and analytical data, the SPSS 25 program was used, followed by statistical analysis. Results: The research results showed that the occlusal vertical dimension, determined by the Knebelman method, was 72.9 mm for the right eye-ear measurement and 72.8 mm for the left eye-ear measurement. The occlusal vertical dimension in rest position was found to be 69.9 mm. Facial biotype was determined according to gender, with the following results: in females, 93% had a dolichofacial biotype, 2.3% had a mesofacial biotype, and 4.7% had a brachyfacial biotype. In males, 92.7% had a dolichofacial biotype, 4.9% had a mesofacial biotype, and 2.4% had a brachyfacial biotype. Conclusion: The facial biotype is not significantly related to the vertical dimension.
