The aim of this study is to propose a 3D skeletal classification and relative normal values of reference. <b>Method</b>: from a pool of 271 cone-beam computerized tomography images 108 chin-summit examinations of the skull were selected and divided into 3 traditional skeletal classes. The same Cone-beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) images were then assessed using the cephalometric multiplanar analysis following the total face approach protocol. <b>Results</b>: the results of this study indicate standard 3D cephalometric norms for the vertical and sagittal evaluation of the skull. <b>Conclusions</b>: data obtained from our measurements allowed the creation of intervals supplying nosological classification that could be used in orthodontics, orthognatic surgery and implant surgery in fully edentulous patients.
