Aim:
To evaluate four regression equation-based mixed dentition analyses in a Patna population and assess their accuracy and correlation.
Materials And Methods:
This study analyzed 84 school children aged 11-13. Dental impressions were used to measure tooth dimensions with calipers. Measurements were compared to values from different regression equations using a paired t-test.
Results:
The average disparity between the real and estimated values of canines and premolars exhibited notable clinical and statistical significance (P < 0.001).
Conclusion:
All four regression equations were not accurately applicable to this population.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
