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 on the skin of basal Gnathostomes (i.e. Chondrichtyans). Since the origin of teeth some 450mya, the vertebrate dentition has diversified within the reptiles, amphibians, and fish: however most of these groups continue to possess a long row of pointed or sharp-sided, undifferentiated teeth ("homodont") that are completely replaceable. The mammalian pattern is significantly different. The teeth in the upper and lower jaws in mammals have evolved a close-fitting relationship such that they operate together as a unit. "They "occlude", that is, the chewing surfaces of the teeth are so constructed that the upper and lower teeth are able to fit
