The mentioned measurement for the vertical display of the labial surface of the occlusal rim was performed by predefined technique. All measurements were repeated 3 times and mean value deduced for entry in the data collection proforma. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.

Results:

Out of total 221 participants, mean age was 60± 6.64 yers. with male to female ratio of 1:1.15. Females shows shorter lip lengths while males had long lip lengths. Subjects with shorter upper lips display more maxillary rim than subjects with longer upper lips both at smile and at rest.
