OBJECTIVES: Proper diagnosis and prevention of @entity3232 are superior to treatment. Discrepancy between arch length and tooth size in mixed dentition period is a condition requiring timely diagnosis. Estimating the mesiodistal width of unerupted teeth according to the size of erupted ones can lead to earlier diagnosis of @entity3232 . On the other hand, the best timing for serial extractions is before the eruption of lateral incisors. The aim of this study was to present prediction formulas for mesiodistal width of unerupted lateral incisors, @entity235 and premolars in an Iranian population based on the width of erupted permanent mandibular central incisors and maxillary first molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 dental models (60 males, 60 females) of orthodontic @entity1 between 11-25 years were evaluated in Yazd city. The measurements were made by a digital caliper on the widest mesiodistal width of teeth at the interproximal contacts. Data were analyzed to calculate the prediction equation. RESULTS: The prediction equation in the upper jaw was y=0.57x+10.82 for males, y=0.7x+6.37 for females and y=0.64x+8.46 for both sexes. The equation for the lower jaw was y=0.76x+2.86 for males, y=0.74x+3.53 for females and y=0.77x+2.7 for both sexes. CONCLUSIONS: The prediction equations suggested in this study can predict the mesiodistal width of unerupted lateral incisors, @entity235 and premolars in an Iranian population in early mixed dentition period without taking radiographs.
