Objective: the aim of the study was to assess the length, angulations and the pattern of ossification of the Styloid process (SP) and to know if any correlation exists between them.Method: 50 patients of CBCT, TMJ views were considered, a total of 87tmjs were viewed using ORTHOPHOS XG3D X-ray system. The length, mediolateral (MLA), anteroposterior angulation (APA) was measured. The morphology was identified on 3D images. Person's Correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis.Result: 0f the 87 scan. The Mean length of SP in males was 32.10mm and in females was 31.62mm. There was no statistical significance between sides and between the length and age. The mean MLA in males was 80.60 and in females it was 82.40. MLA on right was 81.40 and left was 81.30 the mean APA in males and females was 25.2 and 31.1 respectively, In this study we found no correlation between length, age and agulation of the styloid process. Conclusion:This study indicates that with an increase in length there is no significant increase in angulations. Age and gender showed no correlation with length. During evaluation of the Stylohyoid complex (SHC) length, angulations and morphology should be considered
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
