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 premolars and canines by measuring the width of the permanent incisors.
It is the longest tooth in total length (from the root to the incisal edge) in the mouth. Canines are also the only anterior teeth with a cusp. Maxillary canines begin to calcify by 4 months of age. The enamel of the tooth is completely formed by around 6 to 7 years of age and the permanent maxillary canines erupt at around 11 to 12 years of age.
Codes, names, and usual number of roots: (see chart of teeth at Universal Numbering System) 11 21 51 61 maxillary central incisor 1; 41 31 81 71 mandibular central incisor 1; 12 22 52 62 maxillary lateral incisor 1; 42 32 82 72 mandibular lateral incisor 1; 13 23 53 63 maxillary canine 1; 43 33 83 73 mandibular canine 1; 14 24 maxillary first ...
To predict the size of unerupted premolars and canines: 1/2 of Mesio-Distal width of four lower incisors + 10.5 = Estimated width of mandibular premolars + canine in one quadrant 1/2 of Mesio-Distal width of four lower incisors + 11.0 = Estimated width of maxillary premolars + canine in one quadrant This analysis takes 3 measurements into account:
The mouth is divided into 6 segments, and is examined in the following order: maxillary anterior, maxillary right posterior, maxillary left posterior, mandibular anterior, mandibular right posterior and mandibular left posterior. The tool is superimposed over the teeth for the scoring measurement, each tooth present is scored 0, 1 or 2. [8]
Universal numbering system. This is a dental practitioner view, so tooth number 1, the rear upper tooth on the patient's right, appears on the left of the chart. The Universal Numbering System, sometimes called the "American System", is a dental notation system commonly used in the United States. [1] [2]
An Overall Analysis measures the sum of mesio-distal width of all 12 (first molar to first molar) mandibular teeth and compares them to the 12 maxillary teeth. The overall ratio known to be 91.3%. [5] The anterior analysis measures the sum of Mesio-distal width of front 6 mandibular teeth and compares them to maxillary teeth. The anterior ratio ...
The tooth designated "1" is the maxillary right third molar ("wisdom tooth") and the count continues along the upper teeth to the left side. Then the count begins at the mandibular left third molar, designated number 17, and continues along the bottom teeth to the right side.
