title: [Analysis of the measurement on of the maxillofacial soft tissue's parameters association with vertical dimension]
abstract: The rehabilitation of vertical dimension of occlusion(VDO) exactly is one of the most important procedure for dental prosthesis in the field of prosthodontics.In this study,total of 19 subjects with normal range occlusion were selected.We measured 33 parameters relating to VDO of their facial soft tissue at intercusping position,with the technique of digital imaging analysis.The results as follows:we established a set of normal values of facial soft tissue parameters,which is suitable for the age group of 21-24 years old.It would provide an objective criterion for the rehabilitation of VDO.Also the normal values in this studies had been compared with other other studies,and it showed that the values of some parameters in our study,such as CH-CH',nasolabial angle were very close to oter data.Furthermore,it was found that both the position of the upper lip and the lower lip of the subjects were more anterior to that of white men,while the degrees of nasolabial and labiomental convexity were less obvious.
