The study examines the relationships between different craniometric distances and the nasion-gnathion (N-Gn) distance which represents the lower two thirds of the face in vertical dimension determination. The highest degree of correlation (r = 0.9217; p < 0.05) was observed between the N-Gn and zygion-zygion (Zy-Zy) distances. The N-Gn distance could be determined using the formula N-Gn = Zy-Zy/1.15 or by means of regression analysis: N-Gn = 0.54749 + 0.82822 x Zy-Zy. Considering that the coefficient of correlation between N-Gn and Zy-Zy was higher than the one between the eye-ear (E-E) and the subnasale-gnathion (Sn-Gn) distances reported earlier (r = 0.8676) it was concluded that calculating the N-Gn distance from the Zy-Zy distance was more reliable. The fact that none of the calculated correlation coefficients was 1, but was lower than 1, points to the presence of individual variations of the cephalometric parameters. Although the method cannot be taken as absolutely reliable, owing to its simplicity and practical applicability it can be recommended for use in everyday clinical practice in combination with other methods for the determination of the vertical dimension of occlusion.

Background: For restorative demands, increased vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is sometimes necessary, as facial changes can be perceptible.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the perception of facial change due to increased VDO and associated soft tissue changes using 3D-scanned facial images.
Methods: Forty participants with healthy dentition and no loss of VDO were recruited.

Background: Worn dentition is a common problem encountered by most people in the last decade. Rehabilitation of a full mouth needs individual attention and proper treatment planning, which is very challenging for partial edentulous cases where bilateral teeth are missing and collapsed vertical dimension leaves inadequate restorative space. Treatment of these cases is complex and needs to apply standard principles while designing and fabricating prostheses.

This study is intended to review the cephalometric data pertaining to the diverse Indian populace through a systematic literature survey. To conduct a systematic review of literature, an electronic search was done on Medline, Embase, and Central databases. The available data were categorized based on the existing five geographic locations of the country (north, south, east, west, and central India) and analyzed.

Fragmented care systems, characterized by horizontal and vertical boundaries, hinder interprofessional collaboration for individuals with complex care needs. This study explores how frontline professionals navigate these boundaries to foster collaboration within a national program promoting integrated care for individuals with 'misunderstood behaviour' in the Netherlands. Using a boundary work lens, we analysed 44 semi-structured interviews with frontline professionals from the social, care, and safety domains.
