Abstract
One of the problems that arise studying the characteristics of a certain population with no malocclusion is that there are not any judgements about the components of the sample the researcber has the responsability of determine the norms, so there are some papers with different guidelineses to obtain a reprersentative population to be studied. Occlusal criteria are most valuable but also skeletal and aesthetics. In the present is studied that there is no need of adding skeletal norms to occlusal ones to define a sample as ideal, because cephalometric characteristics of the sample don't have statistically significative differences in comparaison to a sample selected only with occlusal standards.
