The accuracy for predicting mesiodistal widths of unerupted permanent canines and Premolars from x-rays and their estimations based on the already erupted permanent teeth were tested in a group of Israeli children. The observed posteruptive widths related more closely to predicted values obtained from x-ray measurements than from tabulated estimations.
