Abstract PDF: The purpose of this study was to assess the skeletal characteristics of the maxillofacial norms and the interpretation of craniofacial relations in Korean adults by applying the Ricketts Analysis. The factors of the applied lateral cephalometric measurements were composed of the 10 factor analysis (Summary Analysis) and 7 internal structures to be suggested by Ricketts. Lateral cephalograms were obtained from 60 subjects over 21 years old that consisted of 30 males and 30 females with normal occlusion, acceptable profile. The results were as follow: 1. The tables of means, standard deviations in each item and sex were made. 2.
