Vertical Dimension Caliper

Professional Vertical Dimension Measurement Tool

Achieve accurate and consistent vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) measurements with this essential dental surgical instrument. Designed for dental professionals working with full mouth reconstructions, implant cases, and edentulous patients.

Key Features:

• Dual-Sided Design: Features both straight measuring arms and a curved chin bar for comprehensive VDO assessment
• Precise Measurements: Accurately measure the distance from the center of the eye to the lip commissure
• Locking Mechanism: Secure screw-lock system maintains your measurement for reliable verification
• Ergonomic Construction: Rounded edges ensure patient comfort during the measurement process
• Clinical Efficiency: Reduces chair time and increases confidence in treatment planning

How to Use:

1. Use the straight arms to measure from the center of the eye to where the upper and lower lips meet
2. Lock the measurement by tightening the adjustment screw
3. Flip to the curved chin bar side and position between the base of the nose and chin
4. Verify proper VDO - the chin bar should fit snugly when the patient is at correct vertical dimension

Clinical Applications:

• Full mouth reconstruction cases
• Implant-supported prosthetics
• Complete denture fabrication
• Determining optimal tooth length and arch thickness for edentulous patients
• Verifying and documenting vertical dimension before treatment

This professional-grade instrument helps dental practitioners quickly establish accurate VDO measurements, streamlining case planning and improving treatment outcomes.
