Objectives: The primary aim of the present study was to assess the applicability of Tanaka and Johnston and Moyers' methods of prediction in Libyan subjects and secondary aim was to develop a new prediction method for the examined population if required.
Materials And Methods: The study sample comprised 343 Libyan schoolchildren with age ranged from 12 to 17 years; 169 males age matched with 174 females, all with no craniofacial abnormalities and orthodontically untreated. The mesiodistal (MD) tooth widths were measured and compared with the estimated values derived from Tanaka and Johnston equations and from Moyers' probability tables at 35%, 50% and 75% respectively using Paired t-tests.
