متن کاملPrimary Dentition Analysis: Exploring a Hidden Approach
BACKGROUND Accurate prediction of the mesiodistal widths (MDWs) of canines and premolars in children with primary dentition facilitates interception of malocclusion at an early age. Boston University (BU) approach is one, i.e., based on primary teeth for predicting canine and premolar dimensions. AIM To predict the canine and premolar dimensions, in the contemporary population, using BU appro...
