“…The mean I-SGT measurement in our study was 8.26 ± 2.7 mm, and a similar result was discussed by Kolsuz et al[17], who studied the anatomy of the genial tubercle using CBCT among a Turkish sample population and found that the mean I-SGT was 8.1 ± 1.7 mm in males and 7.7 ± 1.8 in females with class I occlusion.…”

BACKGROUND Identification of the morphology of the genial tubercles (GTs) is valuable for different dental applications. The morphological pattern of the GTs is still controversial, and therefore, the study of its morphology using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays a valuable role in resolving the controversy. AIM To assess the morphological pattern, dimensions and position of the GTs using CBCT among a selected Saudi population. METHODS CBCT records of 155 Saudi subjects (49 female and 106 male) were used to assess the pattern and size of the GTs and to determine the distance from the apices of the lower central incisors to the superior border of the GTs (I-SGT) and the distance from the inferior border of the GTs to the menton (IGT-M). RESULTS The results of this study showed that the most common morphological pattern was of two superior GTs and a rough impression below them (36.8%), followed by two superior GTs and a median ridge representing fused inferior GTs below them (22.6%) and a single median eminence or projection (20%). The classically described pattern, of two superior and two inferior GTs placed one above the other, was found in only 14.2% of cases, while 6.4% of the studied cases had no GTs. The mean width and height were 6.23 ± 1.93 mm and 6.67 ± 3.04 mm, respectively, while the mean I-SGT and IGT-M measurements were 8.26 ± 2.7 mm and 8.13 ± 3.07 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION The GTs are a controversial anatomical landmark with wide variation in their morphological pattern. The most common pattern among the studied Saudi sample was of two superior GTs and a rough impression below them, and there were no significant differences between males and females.

“…The present data was similar to that found by Kolsuz et al (8.3–10.1 mm). 15 However, it was higher than the measurements found by Araby et al (8.13 ± 3.07 mm) 4 and Wang et al (6.4–8.4 mm). 3 In addition, this distance was significantly greater in males than females and lower in IIA GTs.…”

All methods in this study were performed in accordance with the medical ethics committee in Hospital of Stomatology, Hebei Medical University. Animal use and care was in accordance with the guidelines of the medical ethics committee for the housing and care of animals bred, supplied and used for scientific purposes. All experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. The work was approved by the medical ethics committee in Hospital of Stomatology, Hebei Medical University (Certificate No. [2017]016). Animal model development. Every effort was made to minimize animal pain and suffering. A total of 18 male 6-month-old New Zealand white rabbits (initial weight, 3-3.5 kg) were randomly divided into three groups: the OSHAS, MAD, and control groups, with 6 rabbits in each group. All of the animals were housed under normal laboratory conditions. Food and water were available ad libitum. The animal models were developed in the same way as in our previous studies 12,13. Briefly, OSAHS was induced via injection of gel into the submucous muscular layer in the centre of the soft palate 1.5 cm away from the junction of the soft and hard palate (Fig. 1). No gel was injected in the control group. Animals in these two groups were later confirmed to have OSAHS by clinical signs, CBCT scanning and polysomnography (PSG).
