“…In this study, the CBCT scans of 50 styloid processes distributed among 12 male and 13 female with a mean length of styloid processes 18.7 mm in male and 20.4 mm in female this results was close to a similar CBCT study on styloid processes assessment by Ilguy et al (13) with 22.2mm mean length. In many studies there was no significance difference between right and left side measurements, this study show close measurements between both side, 19.4mm mean of length at left side and 19.7 mm at right side which is in agreement with Ramadossand Sha (14) and Kosar et al (15) studies. In the present study the styloid process was classified morphologically according to number of ossified segments.…”

Background: To determine the radiographic assessment of the styloid proces using 3D images provided by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Method: In this study, (50) CBCT scans of the (25) patients 13 females, 12 males, age range (18-65 years) were retrospectively evaluated for full length and number of segments ossificationanalyzed statically for both side and gender. Results:The study results revealed that the mean length of styloid process according to gender was (18.7) mm in male and (20.4) mm in females, while according to side the mean length of styloid process on the right side was (19.7) mm and on the left side was (19.4) mm. The higher percentage of segments ossification was in one segment then followed by two and three segments respectively in both left and right sides Conclusion: The full length and morphology of the styloid process can be measured accurately by 3D views provided by CBCT.

“…(19) In our study, males showed higher mean values of the SHC length than females (32.9 mm and 31.8mm respectively) with no statistical significance. Similar values were reported by Ramadoss and Sha (25) where mean length was 32.10mm in males and 31.62mm in females. Many previous studies showed higher mean values of males than females with no significant difference.…”

“…(3,36) In the present study, no correlation was found between length and APA which agrees with previous reported results. (10,25) Further, no correlation was found between length and MLA similar to previous studies. (1,10,16,26) Also, no correlation was found between APA and MLA.…”

Objectives:The aim of the present study was to assess the role of CBCT in the assessment of the length, angulations, and different morphologic variations of the stylohyoid complex (SHC).Methods: CBCT scans of 112 subjects (41 males, 71 females, age range 5-52 years old) were included in the study. SHC was evaluated bilaterally. Length, anteroposterior angulation (APA), mediolateral angulation (MLA), morphologic and calcification patterns were evaluated. 25th -75th percentiles were calculated to detect the normal length and angulation ranges. Results:The normal range of the SHC length was 25.5-33.6 mm. SHC elongation was found in 32 cases (28.6%). APA and MLA normal ranges were (24.9o-34.2o and 66.6o-72.8o respectively). Males showed higher mean values than females regarding the SHC length and angulations with statistically significant difference in APA and MLA between both sexes. New morphologic pattern was detected in (2.7%) of cases. Normal length (Patterns A, B, C, D) was found in (74.65%) of the bilaterally evaluated SHC. Among the elongation cases, calcified SHC (Patterns F-K and the new pattern) was the most prevalent (17.8%). Absent SP was observed in (0.45%). The most prevalent calcification pattern was type B. Conclusion:CBCT revealed a new SHC morphologic pattern that may contribute to the proposed classification in literature. CBCT is a valuable imaging modality for accurate identification and analysis of the SHC in terms of length, angulations, and anatomic discrepancy.

“…It is more precise than measurements through direct tracing. For this reasons the obtained results is more accurate and reliable than previous studies (8,14,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) . Each radiograph was measured twice and the measurement is recorded automatically when the program displays the individual values for each patient.…”

Objectives: Study the response of cases with myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) associated with elongated styloid process to pharmacotherapy. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients with 60 styloid process have been involved in the present study. They were suffering from MPDS. Styloid process length, angulation and morphology were assessed from the panoramic view bilaterally. Treatment plan for MPDS was started gradually from simple short period method (pharmacotherapy for two weeks), to conventional long period one (intraoral occlusal splint fabrication and insertion or therapeutic ultrasonic sessions for three months). The response to the treatment was used as diagnostic therapeutic test. Treatment outcome of patients with and without an elongated styloid process were compared using visual analog scale (VAS) and maximum interincisal mouth opening (MIO). Results: Patients group with severely elongated styloid process (mean length 32.95 mm) showed no improvement after two weeks of treatment by drugs; so they subjected to intraoral occlusal splint fabrication or therapeutic ultrasonic sessions. The mean length of styloid process was 28.2 mm and mean angle was 60.73 o in both sides of all subjects included in this study. Assessment of the styloid process morphology resulted in; 30 sides showed uninterrupted elongated pattern, 12 sides were psudosegmented and 18 sides were segmented. Conclusions: There was tendency for elongation of styloid process among patients with MPDS. Response of drug treatment in MPDS patients with elongated styloid process was questionable in this study, and the diagnostic therapeutic test is useful in detection of such cases. Persistence of pain among MPDS patients could be attributed to the elongation of their styloid process.
