Dissertation length varies by field and committee, not by a magic page count. A one-page math dissertation succeeded while a 280-page literature review failed. What matters is whether you fully answer your research questions and show your contribution to existing scholarship.
How many pages should your dissertation be? It depends entirely on your committee and your field. We have seen a one page math dissertation get approved because the student solved a problem that nobody else could. We've also sent back a 280 page literature review that said nothing. People obsess over hitting some magical number, but that's not how your dissertation gets accepted. Your committee wants you to answer your research questions completely, show how you understand your work, and explain how your contribution fits existing work. Nobody fails because your dissertation is 107 pages instead of 110. They fail because they're incomplete or they're addressing the wrong criteria.
