Abstract
An empirical equation to calculate the surface area of the maxillary edentulous jaw was formulated. The values obtained by use of the equation were compared with the values determined by two methods of area measurements. Regression analysis and correlation coefficient computation showed good agreement between the calculated and the experimental values.
