By this work, the author wanted to simplify concepts and extrapolate the useful elements for an easy understanding of the problems relating to the cephalometric data. He establishes the primary objectives that must be held into consideration in every cephalometric analysis. He analyses widely the problems connected to the skeleton, to the teeth, to the soft tissues and their interrelations. He completes his work supplying precise indications of extraction therapy into wrong occlusion in which prevail alveolus-dental discrepancy.
