Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aim was to determine freeway space in edentulous individuals by correlating clinical findings of freeway space clinically with the gonial angle cephalometrically. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 dentulous individuals in the age-group of 20-30 years. Freeway space was determined by the difference between the readings of vertical dimension of rest and vertical dimension of occlusion in dentulous individuals. Gonial angle was calculated with the help of cephalometric radiographs, and the two were co-related. Results: Gonial angle (X) varied from 103° to 104° with an average of 122.45°. Freeway space (Y) ranged from 0.9 mm to 2.9 mm with an average of 1.77 mm. Co-relation of 51.21% existed between the gonial angle and freeway space. Conclusion: The study establishes a co-relation between gonial angle and freeway space with a value of 51.215%. In this way, the value of freeway space can be obtained.
