| ABSTRACTBack ground: The exact measurement of the natural vertical dimension is most essential in the successful practice ofmany phases in dentistry, this study was performed to evaluate the use of anterior attachment of lingual frenum andthe depth of mucolingual reflection when recorded during function as a pre- extraction record to determine theocclusal vertical dimension (OVD) in edentulous patients.Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 30 dentate subjects, the age was ranged from (23-33) years old,irreversible impressions of lower arches, stock trays, dental stone, surveyor and vernia gauge for measurements, thevertical distance between the incisal edge of mandibular central incisor and the anterior attachment of lingualfrenum as well as the depth of mucolingual reflection was measured on the stone casts, t-test and one way analysisof variance were used for statistical analysis of the data.Results: The difference between males and females regarding the distance from the incisal edge of mandibularcentral incisor and the anterior attachment of lingual frenum was statistically not significant (p>0.05) , also genderhad no effect on the measurements of the distance from the incisal incisal edge of mandibular central incisor andmuco lingual reflection depth.Conclusion: The distance between the incisal edge of mandibular central incisor and the anterior attachment oflingual frenum with the depth of muco lingual reflection may be used as a reliable land marks to determine occlusalvertical dimension.Key words: Occlusal vertical dimension, anterior teeth measurements, lingual frenum.
