Abstract
Normal length of Styloid Process is between 16-30 mm and more than 30 mm considered as elongation. Elongation of SPs may have signs and symptoms of orofacial pain which could be confused with a wide variety of facial neuralgias, Eagle syndrome and Temporomandibular diseases. Hence evaluation of elongated SPs can avoid misdiagnosis of these pain disorders. 200 digital OPGs of both gender aged between 20-60 years was retrieved from the Department record among which Group-A and Group-B consisted of 100 scans individually. The length and type of SPs according to the subjects, gender and sides on OPGs were measured and evaluated. Total 200 OPGs were randomly selected for the study. We found that the mean length in males and females was 27.30±5.45mm and 27.23±6.27mm on the right side and 27.44±5.77mm and 27.12±5.93mm on the left side respectively. The difference between the length in both gender and sides was statistically insignificant. The prevalence of elongation was 24.5% and 25% on right and left side. SP lengths were slightly longer in elderly patients (41-60 years) compared to the young. The elongated SPs showed a slight female (5%) predominance. Type I SP was the most common in both gender and sides followed by Type II and then Type III. Hence we conclude that OPGs play an important role in identifying the normal, elongated and type of SPs and could help to avoid misdiagnosis of other pain disorders in cervico-orofacial region.
