ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Hyoid bone measurements have been proposed to vary between different genders and age groups. The aim of the study is to study hyoid morphometrics among Jordanian patients. 3D-CT scans of 637 patients were analyzed. Ten parameters of hyoid bone were measures, including the anteroposterior length, length of greater horns (right and left), height of greater horns (right and left), width of hyoid body, height of hyoid body, the distance between the midpoints of the posterior ends of the greater horns of the hyoid bone, the angle between right and left greater horns, and the distance of the hyoid bone to the vertebral column. Also, vertebral level, fusion rank, morphology of hyoid body lingula, and shape of hyoid bone were documented. All hyoid dimensions were longer in males, but greater horns angle was wider in females. In patients younger than 30 years, the parameters are the smallest with the widest angle. The distance from hyoid to vertebral column is higher in males (30-49) years of age. No fusion between hyoid body and greater horns was observed in patients younger than 10 years, but fusion (unilateral or bilateral) was found in only 73.2 % of patients ≥ 70 years. The hyoid was mostly at vertebra C3 level and "U" shaped. The lingula shape was mostly "Scar" in males (especially ≥ 50 years) and "Nothing" in females (especially < 50 years). The maximum growth of hyoid dimensions is before age of 30 years. Fusion between hyoid body and greater horns was not seen in patients younger than 10 years. Otherwise, the hyoid features failed to predict age or gender in our sample. Furthermore, 3D-CT scan is an excellent tool to assess the anatomy of head and neck region.


Se ha propuesto que las medidas del hueso hioides varían entre los diferentes sexos y grupos de edad. El objetivo del estudio fur estudiar la morfometría del hueso hioides en pacientes jordanos. Se analizaron tomografías computarizadas en 3D de 637 pacientes. Se midieron diez parámetros del hueso hioides, incluyendo la longitud anteroposterior, la longitud de los cuernos mayores (derecho e izquierdo), la altura de los cuernos mayores (derecho e izquierdo), el ancho del cuerpo hioides, la altura del cuerpo hioides, la distancia entre los puntos medios de los extremos posteriores de los cuernos mayores del hueso hioides, el ángulo entre los cuernos mayores derecho e izquierdo, y la distancia del hueso hioides a la columna vertebral. Además, se documentaron el nivel vertebral, el rango de fusión, la morfología de la língula del cuerpo hioides y la forma del hueso hioides. Todas las dimensiones del hioides fueron más largas en los hombres, pero el mayor ángulo de los cuernos fue más ancho en las mujeres. En pacientes menores de 30 años, los parámetros son los más pequeños con el ángulo más amplio. La distancia del hioides a la columna vertebral es mayor en el sexo masculino (30-49) años. No se observó fusión entre el cuerpo hioides y los cuernos mayores en pacientes menores de 10 años, pero se encontró fusión (unilateral o bilateral) en solo el 73,2 % de los pacientes ≥ 70 años. El hioides estaba mayormente al nivel de la vértebra C3 y en forma de "U". La forma de la língula era mayoritariamente "Cicatriz" en los hombres (especialmente ≥ 50 años) y "Nada" en las mujeres (especialmente < 50 años). El máximo crecimiento de las dimensiones del hioides es antes de los 30 años. La fusión entre el cuerpo hioides y los cuernos mayores no se observó en pacientes menores de 10 años. No obstante, las características del hueso hioides no pudieron predecir la edad o el sexo en nuestra muestra. Además, la tomografía computarizada 3D es una herramienta excelente para evaluar la anatomía de la región de la cabeza y el cuello.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La cirugía ortognática se realiza en sujetos con algún tipo de alteración esqueletal. Los movimientos maxilo mandibulares tienen impacto en la vía aérea (VA) y este aspecto se debe incorporar en la planificación quirúrgica. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar los cambios generados en la VA después de realizada la cirugía ortognática. Se realizó un estudio piloto incluyendo 51 sujetos con deformidad facial de clase II y clase III; se incluyeron en base al estudio del ángulo ANB y el tipo de oclusión dentaria. Se realizaron estudios con tomografía de haz cónico identificando el volumen máximo en la vía área y las áreas mínimas y máximas; además se incluyó la posición del hueso hioide y la inclinación del plano mandibular para relacionar con la morfología de la VA; para definir significancia estadística se estableció un valor de p<0,05 incluyendo las pruebas T de student y T test. Los resultados indicaron que los sujetos clase II aumentaron significativamente el volumen y áreas máximas y mínimas de la VA; los sujetos de clase III esqueletal no presentaron diferencias significativas entre la etapa pre y post quirúrgica; el hueso hioides se presentó significativamente más anterior en ambos en casos de clase II y clase III. Es posible concluir que la VA mejora sustancialmente en sujetos con clase esqueletal facial tipo II y que se mantiene sin cambios en sujetos con clase facial tipo III.


SUMMARY: Orthognathic surgery is performed in subjects with some type of skeletal alteration. Maxillomandibular movements have an impact on the airway (AW) and this aspect must be included into surgical planning. The aim of this research is to determine the changes in the AW after orthognathic surgery. A pilot study was conducted including 51 subjects with class II and class III facial deformity; they were included using the ANB angle and the type of dental occlusion. Cone beam computed tomography were performed showing the maximum volume in the airway and the minimum and maximum areas; in addition, the position of the hyoid bone and the angle of the mandibular plane were included to relate it to the morphology of the AW; to define statistical significance, a value of p<0.05 was established, including the student's t-test and the t-test. The results showed that class II subjects significantly increased the volume and maximum and minimum areas of the AW; skeletal class III subjects did not presented significant differences between the pre- and post-surgical stage; the hyoid bone was in an anterior position in both class II and class III cases. It is possible to conclude that AW improves substantially in subjects with facial class II and remains unchanged in subjects with facial class III.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar los movimientos preferidos en maxila y mandíbula para obtener normalidad en morfología facial utilizando técnicas de superimposición en análisis 3D. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo para evaluar el desplazamiento óseo bimaxilar y del hueso hioides en sujetos clase facial tipo II y clase facial tipo III sometidos a cirugía ortognática. Para la superimposición se utilizó como puntos fijos Nasion - Silla - Porion y la sutura cigomática-maxilar. Estos puntos se superpusieron en CBCT pre quirúrgico y postquirúrgico y se evaluó el desplazamiento de la espina nasal anterior, Punto A, Punto B, mentón y del hueso hioides. Para la evaluación y comparación de las variables continuas antes y después de la cirugía ortognática se utilizó la prueba T de Student. Para la correlación entre las variables, se utilizó el Test de Spearman considerando un valor p<0,05 como diferencia significativa. 44 sujetos de entre 18 y 40 años de ambos sexos, fueron incluidos en esta investigación. En el 90 % de los sujetos se realizó un movimiento sagital de avance de la maxila. El movimiento sagital de avance mandibular se realizó en el 100 % de los sujetos con clase facial tipo II, mientras que el 100 % de los sujetos con clase facial tipo III se realizó se le retroceso mandibular. El hueso hioides presentó un avance en 26 de los 27 sujetos con clase facial tipo III. Es posible concluir que existe una tendencia al avance maxilar independiente de la deformidad facial.


ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to determine the preferred movements in the maxilla and mandible to obtain normality in facial morphology using superimposition techniques in 3D analysis. A descriptive study was carried out to evaluate bimaxillary bone displacement and hyoid bone in subjects facial class II and facial class III undergoing orthognathic surgery. were used as fixed points for superimposition: Nasion (N) - Silla (S) - Porion (Po) and the zygomatic-maxillary suture (Z). These points were superimposed in pre-surgical and post- surgical CBCT and was evaluated to displacement of the anterior nasal spine, Point A, Point B, Chin and the hyoid bone. For the evaluation and comparison of continuous variables before and after orthognathic surgery, was used the Student's t test. For the correlation between the variables, the Spearman test is used, considering a p value <0.05 as a significant difference. 44 subjects between 18 and 40 years old of both sexes were included in this research. A 90% of subjects a was performed a maxillay sagittal movement. The sagittal movement of mandibular advancement was performed in 100% with facial class type II, while 100 % of the subjects with with facial class type III had a mandibular recession. The hyoid bone advanced in 26 of the 27 subjects with facial class type II. It is possible to conclude that there is a tendency for maxillary advancement, independent of facial deformity.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: The hyoid is a unique, 'U' shaped bone, located on the anterior aspect of the neck, between the mandible and thyroid cartilage. This bone displays morphological and morphometric characteristics that can assist in determination of age, sex and race of an individual.Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the morphology and morphometric parameters of the hyoid bone in a Black South African population of KwaZulu-Natal. The morphological and morphometric parameters of the 40 hyoid bones obtained from the Department of Clinical Anatomy, University of KwaZulu-Natal were classified in accordance with Deepak et al. (2013). In this s. tudy, 35 % of hyoid bones were 'U'- shaped and 65 % were 'V'- shaped in males, whereas in the female specimens, 70 % of hyoid bones were 'U'- shaped and 30 % 'V'- shaped. Furthermore, this study recorded a statistically significant relationship between the shape of the hyoid bone and sex. With regard to the morphometry, the width of the hyoid bone was greater in males than females however; the length of the hyoid bone was greater in females than males. In addition, this study concludes that these results may contribute to the existing knowledge on the morphology and morphometry of the hyoid bone and may assist forensic procedures.


RESUMEN: El hioides es un hueso singular en forma de "U", ubicado en la region del cuello anterior, entre la mandíbula y el cartílago tiroides, que presenta características morfológicas y morfométricas que pueden ayudar a determinar la edad, el sexo y la raza de un individuo. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la morfología y los parámetros morfométricos del hueso hioides en una población sudafricana negra de KwaZulu-Natal. Los parámetros morfológicos y morfométricos de los 40 huesos hioides obtenidos del Departamento de Anatomía Clínica de la Universidad de KwaZulu-Natal se clasificaron de acuerdo con Deepak et al. En este análisis, en los hombres el 35 % (7/20) de los huesos hioides tenían forma de 'U' y el 65 % (13/20) tenían forma de 'V', mientras que en las mujeres, el 70 % (14/20) de los los huesos hioides tenían forma de 'U' y un 30 % (6/20) de 'V'. Además, se registró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la forma del hueso hioides y el sexo. En cuanto a la morfometría, el ancho del hueso hioides fue mayor en los hombres que en las mujeres; la longitud del hueso hioides fue mayor en mujeres que en hombres. Además, el estudio concluye que estos resultados pueden contribuir al conocimiento existente sobre la morfología y morfometría del hueso hioides y pueden ayudar a los procedimientos forenses.

ABSTRACT

La influencia de la función respiratoria en el desarrollo de estructuras orofaciales y postura craneocervical ha sido ampliamente discutida. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar valores cefalométricos de la región craneocervical e hioidea en sujetos con respiración nasal y oral. Se incluyeron sujetos de entre 18 y 27 años, de ambos sexos, donde 20 presentaban diagnóstico de respiración oral y 20 no presentaban esta alteración; mediante telerradiografía lateral de cabeza y cuello se realizó análisis cefalométrico craneocervical de Rocabado y aplicación de la técnica de Penning, obteniendo medidas craneocervicales e hioideas, dimensión anterior nasofaríngea y curvatura cervical. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó la prueba de normalidad Shapiro-Wilk y la prueba T para muestras independientes, considerando un valor de p <0,05 para obtener diferencias significativas; en aquellos parámetros en donde no se presentó distribución normal se aplicó la prueba U de Mann-Whitney. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos de estudio y los valores cefalométricos analizados, a excepción de la distancia entre la base del hueso occipital y el arco posterior del atlas (p=0,03). Existen limitadas diferencias cefalométricas entre sujetos con respiración oral y respiración nasal, no asociándose el espacio aéreo nasofaríngeo con las modalidades de respiración estudiadas. Deben ser consideradas condiciones de morfología facial o mandibular, para determinar más adecuadamente la influencia de los parámetros cefalométricos en el diagnóstico del modo respiratorio en estudios futuros.


The influence of respiratory function on the development of orofacial structures and craniocervical posture has been widely discussed. The objective of the study was to compare cephalometric values of the craniocervical and hyoid region in subjects with nasal and oral respiration. Subjects between 18 and 27 years of age, of both sexes, were included, where 20 presented oral breathing diagnosis and 20 did not present this alteration; using lateral telerradiography of the head and neck, craniocervical cephalometric analysis was performed of Rocabado and Penning technique was applied, obtaining craniocervical and hyoid measurements, anterior nasopharyngeal dimension and cervical curvature. For the statistical analysis we used the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the T test for independent samples, considering a value of p <0.05 to obtain significant differences; in those parameters where no normal distribution was presented, the MannWhitney U test was applied. No significant differences were found between the study groups and the cephalometric values ??analyzed, except for the distance between the base of the occipital bone and the posterior arch of the atlas (p=0.03). There are limited cephalometric differences between subjects with oral breathing and nasal breathing, with no association of the nasopharyngeal air space with the breathing modalities studied. Conditions of facial or mandibular morphology should be considered in order to determine more adequately the influence of cephalometric parameters in the diagnosis of the respiratory mode in future studies.

ABSTRACT

The giant anteater has specific anatomical adaptations resulting from its ant and termite feeding habits. The unique arrangement of its hyoid apparatus is essential for the ingestion of food. However, its description in the literature is based on fragments and fossils, making it difficult to determine existing anatomical details in live animals. Imaging techniques, which enable the topographical anatomy of animals to be examined noninvasively, provide essential information for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. The aim of this study is to describe the bone contours in the hyoid apparatus of the giant anteater by means of radiographic and tomographic images. Giant anteaters of varying ages from the Wild Animal Screening Center (CETAS-GO) were used, seven for X-ray exams and two adults for CT exams. The hyoid elements in all the animals were evaluated using the two imaging techniques, and were visualized in the cervical region of C2 to C6, which comprises three paired bones (stylohyoid, epihyoid, ceratohyoid) and one unpaired bone (basihyoid). The presence of air in the oropharynx enabled the assessment of soft tissue structures in this region, such as the epiglottis and the soft palate. CT axial sections are of limited usefulness for evaluating the hyoid bones, but enable assessments of the basihyoid bone and its characteristic V-shape. Thus, to analyze the hyoid region in anteaters based on radiographic and tomographic images, one must keep in mind that the stylohyoid, epihyoid and ceratohyoid bones are situated ventrally to the C2 to C5 vertebrae and that the basihyoid at the level of C5-C6 demarcates the transition between the nasopharynx and the trachea. The nasopharynx and oropharynx extend from C1 to C5, and the trachea begins at the level of C6.(AU)


O Tamanduá-Bandeira possui adaptações anatômicas específicas, devido aos hábitos alimentares de ingestão de formigas e cupins. O arranjo singular do aparato hioide dos tamanduás é fundamental para a ingestão de alimentos. Sua descrição na literatura é baseada em peças e fósseis, o que dificulta a determinação de detalhes anatômicos existentes em animais vivos. As técnicas de imagem permitem a avaliação da anatomia topográfica dos animais, de maneira não invasiva, e o conhecimento desta é fundamental para o diagnóstico e prognóstico de afecções. O objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever o contorno ósseo do aparato hioide do tamanduá-bandeira, por meio de imagens radiográficas e tomográficas. Foram utilizados tamanduás-bandeiras provenientes do Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres (CETAS-GO), sendo sete, de variadas idades, para os exames radiográficos e dois adultos para os tomográficos. Os elementos hioideos foram avaliados em todos os animais por meio de ambas as técnicas de imagem, sendo visibilizados na região cervical, de C2 até C6, composto por três elementos pares (estiloioide, epioide, ceratioide) e um elemento ímpar (basitireoide). A presença de ar na orofaringe permitiu a avaliação das estruturas de tecidos moles desta região, como a epiglote e o palato mole. Os cortes tomográficos axiais têm importância limitada na avaliação dos hioides, mas permitem a avaliação do basitireoide e de seu formato característico (V-bone). Desta forma, para avaliar a região hioidea por meio dos exames radiográficos e tomográficos em tamanduás-bandeira, deve-se considerar que os ossos estiloioide, epioide e ceratioide localizam-se ventral às vértebras C2 até C5 e o basitireoide, em C5-C6, delimita a transição entre a nasofaringe e a traqueia. A orofaringe e a nasofaringe estendem-se de C1 a C5, e a traqueia inicia-se a partir de C6.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the carotid bifurcation level in relation with the hyoid bone and mandibular angle. Common carotid artery is the largest artery in the neck, and it gives off two terminal branches, namely external and internal carotid arteries. The bifurcation level of it shows variations, however it is usually situated at the level of C4 vertebra or at the upper border of thyroid cartilage. On the other hand, carotid bifurcation may be situated as low as T3 vertebra, or as high as the level of hyoid bone. In this study, conventional angiographic images of 112 patients were used. The distances of carotid bifurcation to hyoid bone and mandibular angle were measured on those images. In addition, right and left side difference was determined. The distance of carotid bifurcation level to the mandibular angle was measured as 21.26 ± 8.57 mm on the right and 20.25 ± 8.75 mm on the left side in males, and 19.72 ± 8.89 on the right, and 18.5 ± 9.25 mm on the left side in females. Distance between the carotid bifurcation level and hyoid bone ranged 1.94 ± 12.69 mm in female and 3.04 ± 9.00 mm in male on the left side. Having information about the level of carotid bifurcation is important in surgical and radiological procedures for determining the appropriate surgical procedure, and to prevent complications. We believe that the results of this study will shed light to planning of all interventions concerning common carotid artery.


El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de bifurcación carotídea en relación con el hueso hioides y el ángulo de la mandíbula. La arteria carótida común es la arteria más grande del cuello, y tiene dos ramas terminales, las arterias carótidas externa e internas. El nivel de bifurcación muestra variaciones, sin embargo suele situarse a nivel de la cuarta vértebra cervical o en el margen superior del cartílago tiroideo. Por otro lado, la bifurcación carotídea puede estar situada tan baja como a nivel de la tercera vértebra torácica, o tan alta como a nivel del hueso hioides. En este estudio se utilizaron imágenes angiográficas convencionales de 112 pacientes. Se midieron las distancias de la bifurcación carotídea con el hueso hioides y el ángulo de la mandíbula en esas imágenes. Además, se determinó la diferencia entre los lados derecho e izquierdo. La distancia entre el nivel de bifurcación carotídea y el ángulo de la mandíbula se midió, siendo de 21,26 ± 8,57 mm a la derecha y 20,25 ± 8,75 mm en el lado izquierdo, en los hombres, y 19,72 ± 8,89 a la derecha y 18,5 ± 9,25 mm a la izquierda en mujeres. La distancia entre el nivel de bifurcación de la carótida y el hueso hioides osciló entre 1,94 ± 12,69 mm en mujeres y, 3,04 ± 9,00 mm en hombres, en el lado izquierdo. La información sobre el nivel de bifurcación carotídea es importante en los procedimientos quirúrgicos y radiológicos para determinar el procedimiento quirúrgico apropiado y prevenir complicaciones. Creemos que los resultados de este estudio arrojarán luz a la planificación de las intervenciones relacionadas con la arteria carótida común.

ABSTRACT

The variations of the hyoid bone has a great significance for surgical procedures of neck region, and in forensic medicine for evidence of strangulation or hanging, which causes fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and morphometrical variations of the hyoid bone in Anatolian population. A total of 60 adult larynx specimens (46 male, 14 female) were dissected to identify morphological and morphometrical variations of hyoid. The infrahyoid muscles and thyrohyoid membrane were cut and ligamentous structures of bone were removed. The variations of shape of the hyoid were classified into six types: A (U-shaped) hyoid bone observed in 31.7 % (19 bones), a horseshoe-H-type in 10 % (6 bones), a B-type hyoid in 31.7 % (19 bones), a D-type hyoid in % 15 (9 bones), a V-type bone in % 5 (3 bones) and HK-type bone in 6.7 % (4 bones) of all necks. The breadth, width and major transverse axis were approximately measured as 40.4 mm, 28.4 mm and 33.5 mm, repectively. It has been found that the hyoid bones of Anatolian population had morphologically important differences than in other populations.To understand the anatomical variations and measurements of this bone is of valuable importance with regard to clinical practice and forensic medicine.


Las variaciones del hueso hioides tiene un gran significado para los procedimientos quirúrgicos de la región del cuello, y en la medicina forense para la evidencia de estrangulación o ahorcamiento que causan fracturas. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar las variaciones morfológicas y morfométricas del hueso hioides en una población de Anatolia. Un total de 60 muestras de laringe adultas (46 hombres, 14 mujeres) fueron disecadas para identificar las variaciones morfológicas y morfométricas del hueso hioides. Se seccionaron los músculos infrahioideos y la membrana tirohioidea, y fueron removidas las estructuras ligamentosas de los huesos. La forma del hioides se clasificó en seis tipos: a (forma de U) del hueso hioides observó en el 31,7 % (19 huesos), forma de herradura hioides in 10 % (6 huesos), hioides de tipo B en el 31,7 % (19 huesos), tipo D hioides en 15 % (9 huesos), un hueso de tipo V en % 5 (3 huesos) y de tipo HK hueso en un 6,7 % (4 huesos) de todos los cuellos. Se midió la amplitud, ancho y el eje transversal mayor de 40,4 mm, 28,4 mm y 33,5 mm. Determinamos que los huesos hioides de la población Anatolia tenían importantes diferencias morfológicas en comparacion a otras poblaciones. El conocimiento de las variaciones anatómicas y las mediciones de este hueso es importante con respecto a la práctica clínica y la medicina forense.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar la ubicación vertical y anteroposterior del huesohioides en pacientes entre los 12 y 20 años de edad, que inician tratamientoortodóncico en el Departamento de Ortodoncia y Ortopedia dentomaxilofacial de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán. Materialy métodos: La muestra fue de 17 radiografías laterales de cráneo. Serealizó trazado del triángulo hioideo para determinar la ubicación vertical(clasificación de Rocabado) y el plano de referencia Ptv (propuesto por Ricketts) para la ubicación anteroposterior del hueso hioides. Enla descripción de los resultados según su biotipo facial; se empleó el promedio, desviación estándar y el coeficiente de variación (CV = DE/Prom) como medida de variabilidad relativa. Se utilizaron intervalos de confi anza Bootstrap (ICB) del 95 por ciento para la media y la determinación del rango de posibles valores de la ubicación hioidea. Resultados: El 58.82 por ciento de la muestra presentó la ubicación inferior del hioides. En los braquifaciales se encontró una posición adelantada del hioides, al igual que la mayoría de los pacientes mesofaciales (66.66 por ciento). Conclusión: La posición del hueso hioides en relación con el biotipo facial juega un papel importante durante los tratamientos ortodóncicos, ya que nos podría orientar en la posición lingual.


Objective: to determine the vertical and anteroposterior position of thehyoid bones in patients between the ages of 12 and 20 years with diff erentfacial growth patterns upon their commencing orthodontic treatmentat the Autonomous University of Yucatán’s Department of Orthodontics.Material and methods. Our sample consisted of 17 lateral cephalometricradiographs traced manually, with the hyoid triangle being measured todetermine the vertical position of the hyoid bone (as per the cephalometricanalysis of Rocabado). The position of the anteroposterior hyoid bones wasdetermined using Ricketts’s PTV reference plane (linear measurements weretaken as described by Ricketts). For the purposes of comparison betweendiff erent skeletal patterns, the mean, standard deviation, and coeffi cientof variation (CV=SD/m) were used as a measure of relative variability.Bootstrap Confi dence Intervals (BCI) of 95% were used for the mean andfor determining the range of possible values for the location of the hyoid.Results: In 58.82% of the sample, the position of the hyoids was found tobe lower. In brachyfacial subjects, the hyoids were found to be positionedfurther forward, as was the case with most of the mesofacial subjects(66.66%). Conclusion: The relative position of the hyoid bones in specifi cfacial biotypes plays an important role during orthodontic treatment, giventhat it could help in the positioning of the tongue.

ABSTRACT

Morphological variation is a result of interplay among multiple intervening factors. For hyoid bones, the shape and size differences have been scarcely covered in the literature and in majority limited to studies of sexual dimorphism or age dependency. To our knowledge, the human hyoid bone, in complete opposite to other cranial bones, has not been fully utilized to address development questions in terms of asymmetry or modularity. In the present paper, we used landmark-based methods of geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistical approach to study human hyoid morphology represented by the hyoid body and greater horns in a sample of 211 fused and non-fused bones. Within a sample variation analysis, we showed that the hyoid bone is, by nature, asymmetrical bone which exhibits both directional and fluctuating types of asymmetry and is composed of well-integrated anatomical elements for which the biomechanical load of attached muscles is the most determining factor of variation. Yet, the covariance and evidence of unequal amount of fluctuating asymmetry among modules suggests a certain degree of independence during early stages of development.


La variación morfológica es el resultado de la interacción entre múltiples factores. Para huesos hioides, las diferencias de forma y tamaño han sido poco mencionadas en la literatura y se limitan a estudios del dimorfismo sexual o distribución etaria. Hasta donde sabemos, el hueso hioides humano, a diferencia de otros huesos craneales, no ha sido utilizado para hacer frente a interrogantes del desarrollo en términos de asimetría o de la modularidad. Utilizamos métodos basados en hitos de la morfometría geométrica y en el enfoque estadístico multivariado para estudiar la morfología del hueso hioides humano, representado por el cuerpo del hioides y astas mayores, en una muestra de 211 huesos fusionados y no fusionados. En un análisis de la variación de la muestra, se demostró que el hueso hioides es por naturaleza un hueso asimétrico, que exhibe tipos de asimetría tanto direccionales y fluctuantes, compuesto de elementos anatómicos bien integrados para los cuales, la carga biomecánica de músculos vinculados es el factor más determinante de la variación. Sin embargo, la covarianza y la evidencia de la cantidad desigual de asimetría fluctuante entre módulos sugiereun cierto grado de independencia durante las primeras etapas de desarrollo.

ABSTRACT

Las placas de ateroma son conformadas por depósitos de lípidos en las camadas más profundas de las arterias y que siendo estructuras calcificadas pueden ser vistas en radiografías panorámicas. Su aspecto radiográfico debe ser diferenciado de las imágenes que pertenecen a diversas estructuras anatómicas y patológicas radiopacas, puesto que en dicho examen es posible observar asimismo otros hallazgos radiográficos en región cervical. Calcificaciones más a menudo descriptas en la literatura y que consisten en diagnóstico diferencial para las placas ateromatosas son el hueso hioides, cartílago tritícea, el cuerno superior de calcificación del cartílago tiroides calcificada, la epiglotis, los ganglios linfáticos calcificados, los flebolitos, los submaxilares de glándulas salivales y los tonsiolitos. Este estudio tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión de la literatura relativa a las placas ateromatosas y su diferencial diagnóstico con el fin de orientar mejor al dentista en la interpretación de estas imágenes. De esta manera, permite el reenvío de la paciente a un tratamiento preventivo, contribuyendo al desarrollo de la salud pública...


The atheromatous plaques consist of deposits of fat in the inner layers of the arteries and as they are calcified, can be detected on panoramic radiographs. Its radiographic appearance should be differentiated from others anatomical and pathological radiopaque structures, since this examination can also detect other radiographic findings in the neck. The calcifications most frequently described in the literature between anatomical and pathological conditions, and which constitute the differential diagnosis for atheromatous plaques are the hyoid bone, cartilage triticeous, the superior horn of the calcified thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, calcified lymph nodes, the phleboliths, submandibular salivary gland sialoliths and tonsilloliths. This study aims to conduct a review of literature related to atheromatous plaques and their differential diagnoses in order to provide better guidance to the dentist in the interpretation of those images. Thus, the patient can properly receive an early treatment, contributing to the development of public health...

ABSTRACT

A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar a incidência das alterações morfológicas da apófise estiloide. Para tanto foram selecionadas, aleatoriamente, 1100 radiografias pano­râmicas de pacientes de ambos os sexos, sendo 550 do sexo masculino e 550 do femi­nino, sem limitação de faixa etária. Para um total de 1100 casos de prevalência do tipo 1 (normal), no sexo feminino foi maior com 1034 casos (94%) e no masculino com 932 (84,76%). A prevalência do total de alteração morfológica do processo estiloide encontra­da foi de 168 casos (15,27%) nos indivíduos do sexo masculino e 66 no feminino (6%). No sexo feminino, a prevalência da alteração morfológica tipo 1 (normal) foi maior no lado direito com 524 casos (95,27%), o lado esquerdo ficou com 510 (92,73%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado direito com 480 (87,27%) ficando o esquerdo com 463 casos (84,18%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da alteração morfológica tipo 2 (alon­gado) foi maior no lado esquerdo (26 casos = 4,73%) do que no direito (18 = (3,27%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado esquerdo (73 casos = 13,27%) do que no lado direito (59 = 10,76%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da alteração morfo­lógica tipo 3 (articulado) foi maior no lado esquerdo com 11 casos (2%), e o lado direito com 5 ca­sos, (0,91%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado esquerdo, 13 casos (2,36%), do que no lado direito, 10 casos (1,82%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da altera­ção morfológica tipo 4 (segmentado) foi igual tanto para o lado esquerdo como para o direito, 3 casos (0,55%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi igual tanto para o lado esquerdo como para o direito, 1 caso (0,18%)


The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of morphological alterations of the styloid apophysis. Therefore, 1100 panoramic radiographs were randomly selected including patients from both genders (550 males and 550 females), with no age limitation. Among the 1100 cases of type 1 morphological anomaly (normal) was verified a higher prevalence on female patients 1034 cases (94%), and 932 (84.76%) on male patients. Prevalence of total morphological alteration of the styloid process was found in 168 male patients (15.27%) and in 66 female patients (6%). In women the prevalence of type 1 morphological anomaly (normal) was higher on the right side with 524 cases (95.27%), and the left with 510 cases (92.73%), while for males prevalence was larger on the right side with 480 cases (87.27%) and observed on the left side in 463 cases (84.18%). In women the prevalence of type 2 morphological anomaly (elongated) was higher on the left side (26 cases = 4.73%) than on the right (18 cases = 3.27%), while for males was higher on the left side (73 cases = 13.27%) than on the right side (59 cases = 10.76%). In women the prevalence of type 3 morphological anomaly (articulated) was higher on the left side with 11 cases (2%), and the right with 5 cases (0.91%), while for males was higher on the left side with 13 cases (2.36%), and the right side with 10 cases (1.82%). In female patients the prevalence of type 4 morphological anomaly (segmented) was equal for both left and the right, 3 cases (0.55%), while for male patients was equal for both sides, 1 case (0.18%)

ABSTRACT

Existe la tendencia de tratar al paciente desde distintas especialidades, dividiendo al cuerpo en zonas aisladas, a pesar de la correlación existente entre los distintos sistemas. En el sistema estomatognático, la mandíbula se articula en el cráneo a través de la articulación temporomandibular y se relaciona con la oclusión dental. Los huesos del cráneo y la cara, el complejo témporo-esfeno-occipital, la articulación temporomandibular, lengua y complejo hoideo, presentan una estrecha dependencia. A través de conexiones musculares, determinan actividades específicas alrededor de las articulaciones craneales, temopromandibulares, hioideas y cervicales. El sistema hioideo interviene en funciones vitales como la deglución, respiración, fonación y estabilidad postural de la cabeza. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto demostrar la correlación e importancia del sistema hioideo en la oclusión dental, en la región mandibular, valorando la observación del hueso hioides como herramienta auxiliar en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de determinadas maloclusiones.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Although there is a close relationship between swallowing and breathing, there are no studies evaluating the radiographic anatomy of the airway and its possible correlation with the radiographic position of the hyoid bone. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible correlation of the radiographic position of the hyoid bone and airway space (PAS) in lateral radiographs on children with atypical deglutition, in comparison with those with normal swallowing. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional analytical study with control group in a public university. METHODS: Using cephalometric analysis on lateral teleradiographs, the distance from the hyoid bone to the mandibular plane (MP-H) and the distance from the hyoid bone to the tuber (T-H) were correlated with the PAS measurement (airway) in two groups: 55 teleradiographs in the experimental group (with atypical deglutition) and 55 teleradiographs in the control group (normal deglutition). Both groups included subjects at the mixed dentition stage. RESULTS: The variable T-H presented a statistically significant correlation with PAS (0.0286) and the variable MP-H had a significant correlation with the variable PAS (0.0053). This positive correlation was significant only in the control group and not in the group with atypical swallowing. CONCLUSIONS: There was a positive correlation between the MP-H and PAS measurements and between the T-H and PAS measurements only in the group with normal swallowing. These correlations were not observed in the group with atypical swallowing.


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Embora haja estreita relação entre respiração e deglutição, não existem estudos que avaliem a anatomia radiográfica de via aérea e sua possível correlação com a posição radiográfica do osso hioide. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar possível correlação da posição radiográfica do osso hioide e do espaço aéreo na radiografia lateral de crianças com deglutição atípica quando comparada com aquelas com deglutição normal. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo transversal analítico com grupo controle em universidade pública. MÉTODOS: Por meio de análise cefalométrica em telerradiografias laterais, foi correlacionada a distância do osso hioide ao plano mandibular (MP-H) e do túber ao osso hioide (T-H) com a medida do espaço da via aérea (PAS) em dois grupos: 55 telerradiografias do grupo experimental (com deglutição atípica) e 55 telerradiografias do grupo controle (deglutição normal). Ambos os grupos incluíram indivíduos em fase de dentição mista. RESULTADOS: A variável T-H apresentou correlação estatisticamente significativa com PAS (0,0286) e a variável MP-H teve correlação significativa com a variável PAS (0,0053). Esta correlação positiva foi significativa apenas no grupo controle e não no grupo de deglutição atípica. CONCLUSÕES: Há correlação positiva entre as medidas MP-H e PAS e entre as medidas T-H e PAS somente no grupo de deglutição normal. Estas correlações não foram observadas no grupo de deglutição atípica.

ABSTRACT

Como a cirurgia ortognática de avanço mandibular pode trazer benefícios aos pacientes com má-oclusão Classe II esquelética, que são mais propensos a desenvolverem quadros de apneia e hipopneia obstrutiva do sono, esta pesquisa teve a finalidade de avaliar a influência da cirurgia de avanço mandibular com ou sem mentoplastia de avanço, no tamanho da orofaringe e nas posições do osso hioide e da língua. A amostra deste estudo constou de 40 telerradiografias cefalométricas laterais de indivíduos do gênero masculino ou feminino, portadores de classe II esquelética, que se submeteram à cirurgia ortognática de avanço mandibular associada ou não à mentoplastia de avanço. Destas radiografias, 20 retratavam o período pré-cirúrgico (T0) e 20 o pós-cirúrgico (T1). Em seguida, realizaram-se traçados e medições, avaliando-se as distâncias entre as marcações com um paquímetro digital. Verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre T0 e T1 quanto à posição lingual. Esta se apresentou posicionada mais inferior (P<0,05) e anteriormente, aumentando o tamanho da orofaringe (P<0,01). A avaliação do osso hioide, contudo, não mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significantes. Porém, em T1, 17 pacientes apresentaram o osso hioide em posição mais anterior e 12 em posição mais superior. Houve aumento do espaço aéreo da orofaringe com o posicionamento da língua mais ântero-inferior. O osso hioide se movimentou para frente e para cima, na maioria dos casos, apesar de não haver diferença estatística. Além disso, não houve diferenças entre os pacientes que se submeteram à cirurgia de avanço isolado ou associado à mentoplastia de avanço.


As orthognathic surgery of mandibular advancement can bring benefits to patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion, which are more prone to develop frameworks for obstructive sleep apneahypopnea sleep, this research had the purpose to evaluate the influence of surgery for mandibular advancement with or without mentoplasty in advance, the size of the oropharynx and the positions of the hyoid bone and tongue. The sample consisted of 40 lateral cephalometric teleradiographs individuals’ male or female, individuals with skeletal Class II, submitted to orthognathic surgery for mandibular advancement associated or not with mentoplasty in advance. These radiographs, 20 portrayed the pre-surgery (T0) and 20 post-surgery (T1). Then there were tracings and measurements, is evaluating the distances between the markings with a digital caliper. There were statistically significant differences between T0 and T1 on the tongue position. This is showing lower (P <0.05) and earlier, increasing the size of the oropharynx (P <0.01). The assessment of the hyoid bone, however, showed no statistically significant differences. However, in T1, 17 patients had the hyoid bone in place earlier and 12 more in a position higher. There were increasing the airspace of the oropharynx with the placement of language most antero-inferior. The hyoid bone is moved forward and upward, in most cases, although no statistical difference. Furthermore, there was no difference between patients who underwent the surgery in advance alone or associated with mentoplasty in advance.

ABSTRACT

MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: em função das relações anatomofuncionais do osso hióide com o complexo craniofacial, realizou-se avaliação cefalométrica da posição do osso hióide em relação ao padrão respiratório. A amostra consistiu de 53 crianças, gênero feminino, com idades médias de 10 anos, sendo 28 respiradoras nasais e 25, bucais. As medidas cefalométricas horizontais, verticais e angulares foram utilizadas com a finalidade de determinar a posição do osso hióide. Estabeleceu-se uma comparação entre os grupos por meio do teste "t" de student, bem como correlação de Pearson entre as variáveis. RESULTADOS: Observou-se que não ocorreram diferenças estatísticas significativas para a posição mandibular e posição do osso hióide e o tipo do padrão respiratório. No Triângulo Hióideo, o coeficiente de correlação de 0,40 foi significativo entre AA-ENP (distância entre vértebra atlas e espinha nasal posterior) e C3-H (distância entre a terceira vértebra cervical e osso hióide) demonstrando uma relação positiva entre os limites ósseos do espaço aéreo superior e inferior. Para as medidas cranianas sugeriu-se uma relação entre a posição do osso hióide com a morfologia mandibular. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados permitiram concluir que o osso hióide mantém uma posição estável, provavelmente, para garantir as proporções corretas das vias aéreas e não depende do padrão respiratório predominante.


MATERIAL AND METHODS: because of its anatomical and functional relationship with the craniofacial complex, we assessed the cephalometry of the hyoid bone position in relation to the respiratory pattern of these 53 female children, with average age of 10 years; 28 of them are nasal breathers and 25 are oral breathers. Horizontal, vertical and angular cephalometric measures were used in order to determine the hyoid bone location. The Student "t" and the Pearson correlation tests were used in order to compare the groups and the variables. RESULTS: We did not see statistically significant differences in mandible and hyoid bone positions and the respiratory pattern. In the hyoid triangle, the 0.40 correlation coeficient was significant between AA-ENP (distance between the Atlas vertebrae and the posterior nasal spine) and C3-H (distance between the third cervical vertebrae and the hyoid bone) showing a positive relation between the bony limits of the upper and lower air spaces. For cranial measures we have suggested a relationship between the hyoid bone position and the mandible morphology. CONCLUSION: The results led us o conclude that the hyoid bone keeps a stable position, probably in order to secure correct ratios in the airways, and it does not depend on the respiratory pattern.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar, radiograficamente, a prevalência de alterações morfológicas do processo estilóide em pacientes com desordens temporomandibulares. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram analisadas 1.500 radiografias panorâmicas da articulação temporomandibular de pacientes de ambos os sexos e sem limitação de idade, que foram atendidos pelo Serviço de Desordem Temporomandibular da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, MG, no período de 1997 a 2003. RESULTADOS: Oitenta e três (5,53 por cento) dos pacientes da amostra apresentaram pelo menos um dos lados da articulação com alteração morfológica do processo estilóide, sendo 74 do sexo feminino e 9 do sexo masculino, concentrados na faixa dos 41 a 50 anos de idade (32,5 por cento). Com relação ao tipo morfológico do processo estilóide, verificaram-se 113 alongados, 21 pseudo-articulados e 19 segmentados. Constatou-se, também, que as alterações morfológicas do processo estilóide desenvolvem-se de forma simétrica. CONCLUSÃO: Em pacientes com desordem temporomandibular as alterações do processo estilóide ocorrem de forma diferenciada e de maneira simétrica em cada paciente, independentemente do sexo e da idade.

ABSTRACT

La cadena estilohioidea es constituida por el proceso estiloide del hueso temporal, ligamento estilohioídeo y cuerno menor del hueso hioides. La patofisiología de esa cadena es muy estudiada, principalmente lo que se refiere al Síndrome de Eagle, entidad clínica caracterizada por el alargamiento del proceso estiloides, y una serie de síntomas como disfonía, disfagia, dolor faríngeo, glositis, otalgia, tonsilitis, dolor facial, cefalea, odinofagia y dolor en la articulación témporomandibular. Datos morfométricos de esas estructuras son escasos en la literatura. Este estudio buscó establecer valores de la longitud de la cadena estilohioídea y de sus elementos. Fueron utilizadas 30 cadenas estilohioideas de 15 regiones del cuello, de cadáveres pertenecientes al Departamento de Anatomía del Centro de Ciencias Biológicas de la Universidade Federal de Pernambuco de Brasil, cadenas que fueron disecadas y luego medidas con paquímetro de 0,02mm de precisión. A través del análisis estadístico verificamos que los resultados están de acuerdo con los referidos en la literatura para el proceso estiloides del hueso temporal. Por otra parte, valores para el ligamento estilohioídeo y cuerno menor del hueso hioides no se encuentran disponibles en la literatura.
