Abstract

Objectives: Evaluating the correlation between interpupillary distance and intercanthal distance in the adult Vietnamese helps to provide more information using for ocular prosthesis, one kind of maxillofacial prostheses. Subjects and method: The cross-sectional study with 100 Vietnamese dental students who ranged from 21 to 28 years of age. Standardized digital images from the frontal aspect of the faces were taken and AutoCAD software was used to measure these dimensions. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS software. Results: The study founded that having a strong correlation between interpupillary distance and intercanthal distance following all subjects or gender dividing (r > 0,5). The monovariant linear regression equations were used to predict interpupillary distance from intercanthal distance. Conclusion: The interpupillary distance has been significantly correlated with intercanthal distance. The intercanthal distance can be used as a preliminary method for estimating the interpupillary distance by using the monovariant linear regression equations.
