In this paper, 220 children ranging from age 11 to 15 were selected. Each of them received a cephalometric roentgenographic examination. 153 cephalometric items from 13 types of methods which had been widely in use were studied through statistic analysis. By means of "t" test, several items which expressed little difference between the normal occlusion and the malocclusion were eliminated. By using of the cluster analysis we selected one item to represent the items which were with similar effect. Finally, 17 cephalometric items were pick out to provide references for clinical work.
