Prediction of mesio-distal dimensions of the unerupted permanent canines and premolars using measurements of different groups of erupted teeth: retrospective cross-sectional analysis of digital records in Western Australians

ConclusionPermanent mandibular incisors may not be better predictors when used alone. Newly developed equations, based on different combinations of teeth, more accurately predicted the sum of mesiodistal dimensions of permanent canine and premolars in the Western Australian population.
