Space analysis in the mixed dentition is an important aspect of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Detemining tooth size in the mixe d dentition requires an accurate prediction of the mesiodistal widths of the unerupted permanent canines and premolars. The commonly used prediction methods of Moyers and Tanaka and Jhonston are based on data from a sample of subjects of the North of Europe. However, the accuracy of these methods is questionable when is applied to a different population. The objectives of this investigation were to develop linear regression equations for tooth size prediction in a peruvian sample. In the study, 150 peruvian students(75men, 75 women; mean age 13.5 years) were selectd from the National School “Miguel Grau”. The mesiodistal crown diameters of the permanent teeth were measured with a digital caliper(0.01mm). From this data four linear regression equetions were constructed(including the sex factor and arch) for tooth size prediction. The Pearson correlation coefficients sum of the mesiodistal mesiodistal widhts of the central permenent maxillar molars with the maxillar and mandibular canines and premolars were high(ranged from 0.61-0.75). The predicition capacity of the new regression equations were compared with the percentage Moyers table (50%) and Tanaka y Jhonston equations getting more accuracy with the values proposed by the new equations from this study. Futher investigations are needed to confirm these findings.
