Correct cephalometric analyses need reference values obtained from the same ethnic, gender and age population of orthodontic patients. <strong>Objective: </strong>To compare the difference of lateral cephalometric values between Australo-Melanesian and Deutero-Malay race in 16 to 20 years of age subjects with normal occlusion. <strong>Methods: </strong>An observational with cross-sectional design study on 200 subjects (100 males and 100 females) from Australo-Melanesian and Deutero-Malay race was performed. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken, traced and analyzed. <strong>Results: </strong>Mann Whitney U test showed significant differences on SNA angle with median 84° for Australo-Melanesian race and 83° for Deutero-Malay race. Lower lip distance to aesthetic line 3mm for Australo-Melanesian race and 1mm for Deutero-Malay race also showed significant difference. Independent t-test showed significant differences in FM angle with mean 27.45±4.49° for Australo-Melanesian race and 28.14±5.36° for Deutero-Malay race, and upper I to APg angle 36.28±4.72°for Australo-Melanesian race and 32.69±6.24° for Deutero-Malay race. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The Australo-Melanesian race had more protruded maxilla to cranial base, more flat mandibular plane, more proclined upper incisors, and more frontal lower lip to aesthetic line compared to Deutero-Malay race.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; color: #141413; mso-no-proof: no;" lang="EN-US">DOI: </span>10.14693/jdi.v20i1.127</p>
