| ABSTRACTBackground: Permanent canines considered to be very important teeth from aesthetic and functional point of view,space deficiency leading to malposition of maxillary canines considered as one of the most common malocclusions.The aim of this research is to predict mesio-distal width of maxillary canines in a valid practical way depending onmesio-distal width of mandibular canines.Materials and methods: 113 dental cast sets related to patients attended orthodontic department of college ofdentistry (61 females and 51 males) their ages were above 14 years, measurement of mesio-distal width ofpermanent maxillary and mandibular canines bilaterally was done by digital vernier to a nearest 0.1 mm.Results and discussion: Highly positive correlation was found between mesio-distal width of maxillary and mandibularcanines with an establishment of valid clinical prediction of mesio-distal width of maxillary permanent caninesdepending on their corresponding mandibular canines in each gender.Conclusions: Mandibular canines can be used as a valid predictor to the mesio-distal width of maxillary caninesbefore their eruption to prevent them from being either impacted or malposed.Key words: Prediction, maxillary canines and regression.
