Regression Equations and Probability Tables for Mixed Dentition Analysis in a Nigerian Population

analysis and prediction of the sizes of unerupted teeth. The three main methods utilized includes direct measurement of teeth from the study models and use of prediction tables and equations [3-5], direct measurement of teeth sizes from radiographs [6-8], and a combination of measurement of tooth sizes on radiographs and use of prediction tables [2,9,10]. The combined methods of tooth sizes measurement from the study models and radiographs have been suggested for better accuracy of space prediction even though the radiographic method is more complex and as such it is used infrequently.
