Modified classification for styloid process – An original research

Orthopantomograms of different individuals were studied to understand the prevalence morphological variants in styloid process. New types processes identified other than that found existing classification while proceeding with study. Thus, a deeper examination this topic felt interesting. To identify anatomical variations process and its distribution according age gender on digital panoramic radiographs. A total 1000 radiographs from database analyzed for distribution. Langlais modification is used The tapered wavy forms apart process, elongated category. Among population under study category predominant compared wise manifested predilection among male. Moreover, variant dominated older adult younger groups. Considering as parameter Type IV prevails group. 1):The two new categorized identified, which be included classification. 2): Elongated most predominantly seen, variety common variety, 86.6% was seen females 83.8% males; 3): Wavy dominant males 16.1%, whereas it 13.3%. 4): Contemplation parameter, male 5): Relatively high type next group upto 20 years.
