A cephalometric study.
Multivariate analysis of the craniofacial skeleton from subjects with Angle's four occlusal categories showed a similar pattern but with varying degrees of separation depending upon which parameters were included in the analysis. Generally it appeared that the maxillary jaw and mandibular arch parameters contributed most to the discrimination to the four categories of subjects examined in this study.
