Online published on 20 August, 2016. Abstract Mixed dentition space analysis plays an important role in the diagnosis of tooth size arch length discrepancies. A large number of cases of malocclusion start during the mixed dentition stage. Earlier treatment reflects better comprehension of malocclusions. One of the important aspects of diagnosis in mixed dentition is the determination of the tooth size-arch length relationship. Such determination requires an accurate prediction of mesiodistal widths of the unerupted permanent teeth. Study cast analysis has a great advantage to diagnose malocclusions in three dimensions. The dental literatures is replete with numerous prediction methods viz. using probability tables monographs, radiographs, proportional fractions, regression equations etc. these methods help in determining an accurate occlusal guidance and a proper treatment plan. The present paper aims to review the importance of the study cast model analysis and the applicability of mixed dentition analysis on North Indian population.
