Abstract
For evaluation of the comfortable zone (Ct) and the most comfortable p osition (MCP) of the occlusal vertical relation of the mandible, the c onstant stimuli method with three subjective categories of judgements was applied in 10 edentulous subjects. The evaluated CZ was stable and about 3 mm in width. The occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) of the exi sting dentures was found to be located within the CZ in nine of the 10 subjects.
