Abstract

Objective: The current study's objective was to assess Hyoid bone position on Different Skeletal Patterns in a Sample of Egyptians using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. Materials and methods: This study utilized 90 anonymized cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Subsequently, analysis of the raw DICOM dataset images was performed using On-Demand software. The study included evaluations of skeletal classes and various measurements such as SNH, SNB, BNH, Results: A significant difference among classes for various measurements except for a few. Class III showed more anterior position and variation compared to Class I and II based on high F values. Class III had higher means for certain measurements. Conclusion: The hyoid bone is positioned more anteriorly in class III skeletal patterns.
