Abstract
As the childs dentition changes from primary to permanent dentition there are a number of changes that happens in the oral cavity of the child. This intermediate stage of transition is known as Mixed dentition stage and lasts from 6 years to 12 years. The identification and measurement of these changes is of great importance in preventing, managing and treating future dental as well as skeletal malocclusions. Over the years several tests and analysis have been done to analyse these changes. The aim of this paper is to analyse the existing literature on various mixed dentition analysis and also to spot light on the recently developed mixed dentitons and primary dentition analysis.
