Quantification of space problems Space analysis : Quantification of space problems
Because reducing protrusion reduces the amount of available space. The space analysis results must be considered in the context of the profile, Because reducing protrusion reduces the amount of available space.
It is important to quantify the amount of crowding within the arches because treatment varies, depending on the severity of the crowding.
Space analysis, using the dental casts.
Space available Space required compare Space deficiency Space excess OK
Space available: Measuring arch perimeter: from the mesial of one first molar to the other
Over the contact of posterior teeth and incisal edge of anteriors: 1- dividing the dental arch into segments
2- contouring a piece of wire
Space required: Mesiodistal width of each erupted teeth, Summing the widths of the teeth
For a child in the mixed dentition estimating the size of unerupted permanent teeth
Important assumptions: 1- the anteroposterior position of the incisors is correct
2- the space available will not change (growth, compensatory tipping)
3- all the teeth are present
Estimating the size of unerupted permanent teeth
1- measurement of the teeth on radiographs
2- estimation from proportionality tables Moyers Table:
