Mixed dentition analysis has been vital for the early identification and management of malocclusion in pediatric dentistry. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of Moyers' and Tanaka-Johnston's methods for predicting the mesiodistal width of unerupted canines and premolars in the Indian population. A computerized search of articles published on PubMed and Scopus was conducted. The search resulted in a sample composed of 328 articles, out of which 14 were selected. The results show that the predictability of these analyses among the study populations varied, with a 20-30% acceptance rate for Moyers' analysis compared to Tanaka-Johnston's method. The majority of the papers analyzed indicated that the accuracy of Tanaka-Johnston's method did not meet expectations when compared to Moyers' analysis.
混合牙列分析对于儿童牙科学中错牙合畸形的早期识别和管理至关重要。本系统评价评估了莫耶斯法和田中-约翰斯顿法在预测印度人群中未萌出尖牙和前磨牙近远中宽度方面的有效性。对发表在PubMed和Scopus上的文章进行了计算机检索。检索结果得到了一个由328篇文章组成的样本，其中14篇被选中。结果表明，这些分析在研究人群中的可预测性各不相同，与田中-约翰斯顿法相比，莫耶斯分析的接受率为20%-30%。大多数分析的论文表明，与莫耶斯分析相比，田中-约翰斯顿法的准确性未达预期。
