Stylohyoid Ligament Calcification and Its Association With Dental Diseases.

Objectives: This research aimed at investigating the relationship between calcification of the stylohyoid ligaments (SHLs) and odontogenic inflammatory events.

Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 175 patients were retrospectively assessed for presence of SHL calcifications. Frequencies of 4 types of odontogenic inflammatory events were assessed using the same scans, namely dental extractions, root canal treatments, furcation lesions, and periapical lesions.

The effect of styloid process medial angulation on Eagle's syndrome's self-reported symptoms: A preliminary cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the medial angulation of the styloid process (SP), regardless of its length, has an association with self-reported symptoms of Eagle's syndrome.

Study Design: In this cross-sectional study, we measured the length and medial angulation of the SP, including ossification of the stylohyoid ligaments, in archived cone beam computed tomography scans. Patients with valid contact details were interviewed by telephone and asked about the clinical symptoms related to Eagle's syndrome.
