Moyer's mixed dentition analysis Moyer's mixed dentition analysis Moyer's mixed dentition analysis was created in 1971 by Robert Moyers . This an analysis that is used in dentistry to predict the size of the permanent teeth by measuring the size of the primary teeth. The analysis usually requires a dental cast, Boley's gauge and a Probability Chart. Following are the steps used in this analysis Some of the advantages of this analysis are that it has minimum systemic errors, easy to perform by both beginners and expert dentists, it can be used for both the arches, can be performed on both casts or in
Dentition for example, the formula 2.1.2.3 for upper teeth indicates 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, and 3 molars on one side of the upper mouth. The deciduous dental formula is notated in lowercase lettering preceded by the letter d: for example: di:dc:dp. An animal's dentition for either deciduous or permanent teeth can thus be expressed as a dental formula, written in the form of a fraction, which can be written as , or I.C.P.M / I.C.P.M. For example, the following formulae show the deciduous and usual permanent dentition of all catarrhine primates, including humans: The greatest number of teeth in
