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.
