Hyoid bone position in different facial skeletal patterns

Hyoid bone position, facial morphology and head posture in adults.

Hyoid bone position after surgical mandibular advancement.

A cephalometric evaluation of the changes in the horizontal and vertical placement of the hyoid bone and of those in the position of the head over the cervical spine after surgical mandibular advancement was undertaken. Seven linear and one angular measurement were investigated in 60 patients, 17 males and 43 females, before and one year after surgical mandibular advancement. The hyoid bone mov...

Cephalometric Investigation of First Cervical Vertebrae Morphology and Hyoid Position in Young Adults with Different Sagittal Skeletal Patterns

The aim of this retrospective study was to examine hyoid bone position and C1 (atlas) morphology in males and females and analyze these parameters with respect to different sagittal skeletal patterns via cephalometry, with the goal of identifying cephalometric norms. Lateral cephalometric radiographs from 120 individuals (average age: 21.1 ± 2.9 years) were classified according to their ANB ang...

Lower incisor position in different malocclusions and facial patterns

INTRODUCTION The position of lower incisor has been of considerable concern when planning an orthodontic treatment, having been recognized as one of diagnostic keys, Very important in the development of malocclusion and facial pattern. OBJECTIVES In this study we claim to determine the importance of the position and inclination of lower incisor in the different malocclusions and facial patter...

Hyoid bone position and vertical skeletal pattern--open bite/deep bite.

UNLABELLED The Hyoid Bone (HB) is a singular bone with no articulation, but is associated with some vital functions. The purpose of this study was to test the null hypotheses that there is no change in HB position in individuals with vertical jaw dysplasia. METHODS Eleven factors were used to determine the position of the HB. In this paper the ANOVA (two way analysis of variance) method was u...
