Multiple regression equations for prediction of the mesiodistal widths of the maxillary canines and premolars were developed for the right and left sides of the arches of males and females. The equations were developed from longitudinal data taken from ninety-two Caucasian children (forty-six boys and forty-six girls) who participated in the Iowa Growth Study. The multiple regression equations, when compared with three currently used methods of prediction, were the best predictors. The newly developed equations and other prediction methods currently in use were tested on longitudinal data taken from a sample of forty-three Caucasian orthodontic patients (sixteen males and twenty-seven females). Again, the multiple regression equations had the best performance.
针对男性和女性牙弓左右两侧上颌尖牙和前磨牙近远中宽度的预测，建立了多元回归方程。这些方程是根据参与爱荷华生长研究的92名白种儿童（46名男孩和46名女孩）的纵向数据得出的。与目前使用的三种预测方法相比，多元回归方程是最佳预测指标。在取自43名白种正畸患者样本（16名男性和27名女性）的纵向数据上，对新建立的方程和目前使用的其他预测方法进行了测试。多元回归方程的表现依然最佳。
