MOYERS MIXED DENTITION
ANALYSIS
The purpose of a mixed dentition analysis is to
evalute the amount of space available in the
arch for the erupting permanent canines and
premolars. In this analysis the size of the
unerupted permanent cuspids and premolars are
predicted from the knowledge of the sizes of
certain permanent teeth that are already
erupted in the mouth.

The moyers analysis predicts the combined
mesio-distal width of 3,4,5 based on the sum of
the widths of the four lower permanent incisors.

the mesio-distal width of the four lower incisor
are measured and summed up.the amount of
space available for the 3,4and 5 after incisor
alignment is determined by measuring the
distance between the distal surface of lateral
incisor and the mesial surface of first permanent
molar.

Based on the mesio-distal width of four
mandibular incisors, the expected width of the
canines, first and second premolars are
predicted by referring the probability chart.
While doing so,the 75%level of probability is
considered reliable.

The predicted tooth size of 3,4,5 is compared
with arch length available for them so as to
determine the discrepancy. If the predicted
value is greater than the available arch
length,crowding of teeth can be expected

HUCKABAS ANALYSIS
Here both study cast and radiographs are
used for determining the width of
unerupted tooth.
Principle
with any type of radiograph, it is
necessary to compensate for enlargement
of the radiographic image. This can be
done by measuring an object that can be
seen both in radiograph and on the cast.

YI= X1 xY2/X2
y1= width of unerupted tooth whose measurement is
to be determined .
y2= width of unerupted tooth on radiograph.
X1=width of a tooth that has erupted measured on
the cast.
X2=Width of a tooth that has erupted,measured on
the radiograph
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Accuracy of this method of determining
the width of the unerupted tooth is fair to
good, depending upon the quality of the
radiographs and their position in the arch
this technique can be used in maxillary
and mandibular arches for all ethnic
groups.

HIXON AND OLD FATHERS
The mesio-distal width of mandibular
central and lateral incisor is obtained from
the casts. Determine the width of the
premolars from the intraoral periapical
radiographs made using long cone
technique. Sum up the width of central
and lateral incisor along with the width of
unerupted premolars of that particular
side.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The estimated sum total width of the
cuspids and bicuspids of that particular
side can be obtained from the chart. Every
measured sum width of incisor and
bicuspids has a corresponding sum width
of the cuspids and bicuspids in the chart.

Nance careys analysis
This analysis is similar to arch perimeter analysis
of the permanent dentition.

PROCEDURE
measure the mesio-distal width of the erupted
permanent teeth.

measure the width of each unerupted tooth,
cuspids and bicuspids (3,4,5) from the intra-oral
periapical radiographs.
www.indiandentalacademy.com

The total mesio-distal width of all the teeth in
each quadarent will indicate space required to
accommodate the permanent tooth
.
using brass wire measure the arch perimeter.

compare the space required and space
available to arrive at the arch length
discrepancy.
