The chin-nose and eareye (right & left) distances were measured; the results showed that there is a correlation between these measurements; also this study showed that this facial measurement may be used to predict chin-nose distance and determining occlusal vertical dimension in edentulous patients of the Saudi population in combination with some other methods, which have proved to be helpful | ||||
