A Willis Gauge is a dental instrument used to measure the vertical dimension between the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw). This tool is essential in prosthodontics, particularly for recording jaw relations when creating dentures. By measuring the distance between the nose and the chin, the Willis Gauge helps ensure that dentures are accurately fitted, providing comfort and functionality for the patient. Its precise measurements are crucial for achieving the correct occlusal vertical dimension, which is vital for proper bite and overall oral health.
