Abstract

The importance of the Hyoid Bone lies in its being not articulated with any other bone, but connects with Craniofacial bones via unique muscular system, in addition to be a link between Cranial and Mandibular structures.

Several studies that have dealt with the issue of The Hyoid Bone ; were done using the Lateral Cephalometric Radiographs (LCR), so this study managed to be done using CBCT Scan, to get more accurate and reliable measurements.

Objective: Evaluating the anterio-posterior and vertical position of the Hyoid Bone in the skeletal Class (I, II, III).

Materials and Methods: The sample comprised (68 CBCT Scans) for Syrian adult individuals with permanent occlusion, aged between (12-28) years, whom never being under gone of orthodontic treatment before, but they were directed by groups other orthodontists to have CBCT Scans. The sample was divided into three groups: (skeletal Class I, skeletal Class II, skeletal Class III). ANOVA and Scheffe tests were applied to study the statistical significance between the three groups.

Results: The Hyoid Bone takes a more forward position in skeltel CL II subjects comparing with their counterparts of skeletal CL I and CL III, and a more posterior position in skeletal CL III subjects comparing with their counterparts of skeletal CL I and CL II, and also a more lower position in skeletal CL I subjects comparing with their counterparts of skeletal CL I and CL III.
