    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.
