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 grinding food, but when joined together with other teeth they would form a large surface area for the mechanical digestion of tough plant materials. This type of dental strategy is observed in ornithopod and ceratopsian dinosaurs as well as the duck-billed hadrosaurs, which had more than one hundred teeth in each dental battery. The teeth of carnivorous dinosaurs, called ziphodont, were typically blade-like or cone-shaped, curved, with serrated edges. This dentition was adapted for grasping and cutting through flesh. In some cases, as observed in the railroad-spike sized teeth of "Tyrannosaurus rex", the teeth were designed to puncture and
