Several factors cause the total loss of teeth represent a high percentage of our society causing serious problems anatomo-functional in humans. An alternative dental restoration is the implementation of complete dentures and restorative body and therefore requires thorough preliminary study for diagnosis, planning and achieving therapeutic optimization. For the same reasons imaging studies provide data of interest using various radiographic methods as orthopantomography, teleradiography, densitometry, CT. These records provide a broad view of the remaining bone tissue available, as well as anatomical findings of bone defects and pathologies observed. Immediately after tooth loss, initiate various mechanisms for bone resorption or remodeling of a chronic, progressive and irreversible leading to another anatomical entity we call residual ridges where they settle and prosthetic future restorations were installed in order to restore the stomatognathic system edentulous patients. Objective: Restore the height of the prosthetic occlusal plane orientation in the lower edentulous patients. Method: A descriptive observational study 30 students were selected jagged Imaging Study Chair of the Faculty o Dentistry at the UNC 20 to 25 years n= 30. Panoramic radiograph were performed and the use of Image Pro Plus morphometric software. We measured distance from lower edge of mental foramen to the lower edge of the mandibular body and compare the distance that exists with the proportion recorded since the lower edge of mental foramen to the alveolar crest. Conclusion: It was highly satisfactory to estimate the original height of the inferior alveolar process and may establish different degrees, concentrating cilinically edentulous patients, as well as to move the distance to the plane of occlusion and anatomical reference, thus restoring the occlusal plane audited by the professional design, favoring the functionality, stability and comfort for the edentulous patient.
