Abstract

This study was used to evaluate the use of lingual frenum as pre – extraction record in determination of occlusal vertical dimension in edentulous patients.
The sample consisted of twenty subjects, impression of lower arch, stock trays, stone, surveyor and vernia for measurements.
The results of this study indicate that the distance between anterior attachment of lingual frenum and incisal edges of mandibular central incisors may be used as a reliable landmark when the frenum was recorded during function.
The lingual frenum of the mandible is used as are liable land mark to determine the occlusal vertical dimension
