PEREZ, María Antonieta et al. Applicability of the Moyers prediction tables at 75% on Mapuche-Huilliche patients, Chile. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.24, pp.13-18. ISSN 1688-9339.

Abstract Objective. To determine the applicability of the Moyers prediction tables at 75% on patients from the Mapuche-Huilliche population, Chile. Materials and Methods. A descriptive, observational study which evaluated the Moyers prediction tables at 75% in a Mapuche-Huilliche population aged between 11 and 17(25 men and 25 women). The sum of the lower incisors, and the sum of the canines and premolars of each quadrant was compared with each of the predictive values. Results. Increased number of cases in the range from 23.5 mm to 25.2 mm in the sum of lower incisors, which represent 60% of the sample. The sum of canines and premolars showed in maxilla a mean of 23.7 mm in men and 23.1 mm in women, and in mandiblea mean of 22.9 mm in men and 22.1 mm in women. A negative discrepancy of 60% was found in men and of 40% in women. For women, the positive discrepancysignificantly exceeded the negative discrepancies with percentages of 88% and 8%. Conclusions. The Moyers method at 75% was applicable in maxilla and mandible on Huilliche men, and partially applicable on women of the same ethnic group.
