A revision of the Hixon and Oldfather mixed-dentition prediction method

Abstract

A revision of the Hixon and Oldfather prediction method was undertaken with measurements obtained from persons who participated in the Iowa Facial Growth Study, the same group of subjects used originally by Hixon and Oldfather to develop their prediction equation. A significantly improved prediction equation was developed. A graph was made for clinical use in the prediction of mandibular canine and premolar widths in mixed-dentition patients.
