POSITION OF HYOID BONE AND ITS CORRELATION WITH ADJACENT ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES IN CLASS II SKELETAL USING CBCT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This study investigate the position of the hyoid bone and its relationship with adjacent anatomical structures in class II skeletal using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study on CBCT scans of 100 participants with class II skeletal pattern . Different linear measurement was carried out to determine the position of hyoid and evaluate the gender differences. Results : The mean distance from the hyoid bone (H) to epiglottis (EB ) , to posterior nasal spine ( PNS ), as well as to a third cervical vertebra (C3 ) was more in males than female (p < 0.05) .
