The reference values used in Cephalometry to determine the
orthodontic treatment to be realized are mostly of Caucasian
origin. In Cameroon, the need for care is growing; but little
information is available in Cephalometry. Should we treat with
imported cephalometric standards? To answer this question, we
conducted this study in order to determine the craniofacial
morphological characteristics of a sample of Cameroonian
subjects in the Yaounde Central hospital having high health
standard in Cameroon.
