Abstract

Amaç:
Bu çalışmanın amacı seçili bir hasta
grubuna ait panoramik görüntülerde uzamış stiloid proses (USP) prevalansının
belirlenmesi ve hastaların stiloid proses (SP) uzunluğunun yaş ve cinsiyetlere
göre dağılımının değerlendirilmesidir.

Gereç
ve yöntem: Ağız Diş ve Çene
Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalına müracaat eden 16-60 yaş aralığında 200 hastanın
(100 kadın, 100 erkek) dijital panoramik görüntüleri veri tabanından elde
edilerek çalışma gru- bu oluşturuldu. Bireyler yaşlarına göre 5 gruba ayrıldı
ve her grupta eşit sayıda hasta olacak şekilde görün- tüler sistemden rastgele
seçildi. Her panoramik görün- tü üzerinde sağ ve sol taraf SP uzunluğu CliniView
programında cetvel aracı kullanılarak ölçüldü. Uzunluk ölçümünde SP’nin
temporal kemikten ilk ayrıldığı yer ile en uç noktası referans noktalar olarak
belirlendi. Uzunluğu 30 mm’den fazla olan ölçümler USP olarak kabul edildi.
Elde edilen veriler SPSS 17.0 programına aktarılarak gruplar arası
istatistiksel karşılaştırma yapıldı.

Bulgular:
USP prevalansı %15 olarak bulundu. USP
görülen hastaların 18’inin erkek
(%60), 12’sinin (%40) kadın olduğu tespit edildi. Sol SP uzunluğu ortalama
24,64 ± 4,83 mm, sağ SP uzunluğu ortalama 24,35 ± 4,84 mm olarak ölçüldü.
Cinsiyetler ve yaş grupları için ölçüm değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı fark bu- lunmadı (p> 0,05). SP uzunluğunun yaş ile anlamlı
korelasyon göstermediği tespit edildi.

Sonuç:
Seçili hasta grubunda USP prevalansı
ve orta- lama SP uzunluğu değerleri literatürde bildirilen değer aralığında
saptanmıştır. Ayrıca SP uzunluğunun yaşa ve cinsiyete bağlı anlamlı fark
göstermediği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarının doğruluğu daha geniş
çalışma popülasyonunda ve farklı görüntüleme yön- temleri kullanılarak
araştırılmalıdır.

THE PREVALANCE OF ELONGATED STYLOID PROCESS IN DIGITAL
PANORAMIC IMAGES AND EVALUATION OF STYLOID PROCESS LENGHT ACCORDING TO GENDERS
AND AGE GROUPS

Aim: The purpose of the present
study is to determine the prevalence of elongated styloid process (ESP) and
investigate the distribution of styloid process (SP) length according to
genders and age groups in digital panoramic images of a selected patient
population.

Materials and Methods: A total of 200
panoramic images of patients (100 females, 100 males) aged between 16-60 years
were selected from the database of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department.
Patients were equally divided into five groups according to their ages. Length
of right and left SPs were measured on digital panoramic images by an oral and
maxillofacial radiologist using ruler tool in CliniView software. The point
where the SP first separated from the temporal bone and the most apical point
of SP were identified as reference points for measurements. SP measuring more
than 30 mm was considered elongated. Obtained variables were entered SPSS 17.0
software for statistical analysis of measurements.

Results: Prevalence of ESP was found to
be 15%. Among patients with ESP 18
(60%) were male and 12 (40%) were female. Mean length of SP was 24,64 ± 4,83 mm
on left side and 24,35 ± 4,84 mm on right side. There was no significant
difference between genders and age groups for SP measurements (p>0,05).
Moreover, there was no significant correlation between age of the patients and
SP length.

Conclusion: The ESP prevalence and mean SP
length measurements in the selected patient group were in the range of reported
values in the literature. Also, it was determined that the SP length does not
differ significantly depending on gender and age. The accuracy of the study results should be furtherly
investigated in the larger study population with different imaging modalities.
