Prediction of mesiodistal crown diameters of canine based on genetic algorithms method / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish an equation between canine and other permanent teeth,and probe a new method to predict the sum of the mesiodistal diameters of unerupted permanent canines.Methods Samples consisted of 118 dental casts were obtained from Chinese patients(50 males,68 females,respectively).Mesiodistal tooth diameters were measured by a vernier caliper.GAS was used to establish the equation between canine and other permanent teeth,and compared with stepwise regression analysis.Those were modelling samples that optimized equations coefficient(112 samples).Others were inspection samples(6 samples).Results The equation between canine and other permanent teeth was established.MU=0.0511U1+0.2164U2+0.2780U4+0.0407U5+0.2853U6+0.8321①;ML=0.2998U1+0.1294U2+0.3912U4+0.0088U5+0.0791U6+0.9839②;FU=0.1419U1+0.1741U2+0.3258U4+0.0412U5+0.093U6+1.7355③;FL=0.2796U1+0.3750U2+0.2968U4+0.0268U5+0.0043U6+0.6030④.Compared with stepwise regression analysis,the mean error of precision by GAS was less(P
