As could be shown by means of the standard deviation the method used to determine the resting position has a considerable influence on the distribution, and hence on the margin of error when the vertical relation is being determined. Small ranges of distribution were achieved: a) by means of the closest speaking distance when the patient spoke the numbers from 60 to 70 in a natural voice, b) after prompt relaxation of the lower jaw when the patients were asked to relax their jaws, c) when the interocclusal distance was measured after the mouth had been opened a little and the lips subsequently touched again lightly.

Reflexion measurements allow the detection of hard tooth structures and their pathologic alterations with adequate exactness. With the aid of this method it is possible to differentiate between carious hard tissues and clinically healthy tissues by color and surface structure during excavation. It also allows a reliable demarcation from oral soft tissues. Due to its high measuring frequency it may be used as on-line process control.
