SOLUTION · Linder Harth index: This analysis is very similar to Pont’s analysis except that a new formula has been proposed to determine the calculated premolar and molar value. · Korkhaus analysis: This analysis is also very similar to Pont’s analysis it makes use of Linder Harth’s formula to determine the ideal arch width in the premolar and molar region.
· Pont’s in 1905 presented a system whereby the measurement of the four maxillary incisors automatically established the width of the arch in the premolar and molar region. If measured value is less than calculated value, it indicates the need for expansion.
In addition this analysis utilizes a measurement made from the midpoint of the inter-premolar line to a point in between the two maxillary incisors.
· Bolton’s analysis: The Bolton’s analysis helps in determining disproportion in size between maxillary and mandibular teeth.

NEETMDSIn this clinical scenario, the patient has a completely edentulous maxillary arch and a partially edentulous mandibular arch (missing molars bilaterally). Constructing only a maxillary complete denture against natural mandibular anterior teeth and missing posterior teeth can lead to several complications. The unopposed maxillary denture would put excessive stress on the remaining mandibular anterior teeth, potentially causing them to splay, migrate, or experience accelerated bone loss. Additionally, the lack of posterior occlusion can lead to an unstable bite and functional problems. Therefore, it is crucial to restore the occlusion in both arches simultaneously to ensure proper function, stability, and long-term oral health.
