Eight Methods of Analysing a Cephalogram to Establish Anteroposterior Skeletal Discrepancy

Eight of the more commonly used cephalometric analyses are presented in their basic form and used to assess the antero-posterior skeletal discrepancy of an individual. Tables of results and an appraisal for each method are provided. An attempt has been made to itemize the salient features of each.
