The objective of this study is to derive probability tables for Pakistani subjects visiting Children’s Hospital, Lahore. Two hundred dental casts of the Pakistani subjects with age ranging from 12-25 years, who presented with complete eruption of permanent mandibular incisors, all canines and premolars, were measured with a pointed vernier caliper. The non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Statistical analysis was made by using SPSS 10 to calculate means, standard deviations and range. Student t-test was used to compare tooth size between males and females. Male subjects had greater tooth size as compared to the female subjects. However, this difference was found to be insignificant statistically. The data illustrated the limitation of Moyers probability tables when applied to Pakistani population. The Moyers probability tables were not considered 100% accurate when applied on Pakistani population.
