Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the extensive application of cone-beam CT in oral and craniofacial surgery, a clear hyoid bone position indicator for normal population has important implications for the change of hyoid bone position before and after orthodontics.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the cone-beam CT measurement range of hyoid bone position in populations aged 6-19 years from Shandong, so as to provide a reference marker for the change of hyoid bone position before and after orthodontics in local children and adolescents.

METHODS: Totally 254 healthy children (120 males and 134 females) aged 6-19 years from Shandong Province were subjected to cone-beam CT scan of the hyoid bone. Mimics10.01 was used to evaluate the linear and angular measurements of hyoid bone position, and then the normal value range was confirmed. Independent-sample t-test was used for analysis of gender difference and 95% confidence interval was calculated.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were gender differences in a part of indicators of hyoid bone position among 14-15 years, 16-17 years, 18-19 years groups (P < 0.05). For children aged 12-13 years, the hyoid bone position vertical to the base of skull and upper jaw bone is lower in males than in females. For children aged 14-15 years and 18-19 years, the hyoid bone horizontal to the cervical spine is more forward in males than in females.
