Abstract
ESPADA DE-LA-CRUZ, Miriam Janeth; SOLDEVILLA GALARZA, Luciano Carlos and MATTOS-VELA, Manuel Antonio. Hyoid bone position, tongue position, and pharyngeal airway dimension according to skeletal malocclusion. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.38, e305. Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2021n37e305.
This study reviewed the articles that evaluated hyoid bone position, tongue position, and pharyngeal airway dimension according to skeletal malocclusion cephalometrically to determine a connection between these structures.
Method:
Publications were identified in the following databases: PubMed, Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scielo, and Scopus. Keywords: hyoid bone, tongue, airway, malocclusion. The articles were screened by title, abstract and full text, written in English and Spanish.
Results:
We found 75 articles; 30 were discarded because they lacked a direct connection with the topic. Finally, 45 articles were selected. There is still no general consensus on the relationship between the position of the hyoid bone, the tongue, and the dimension of the upper airway according to skeletal malocclusion.
Keywords : hyoid bone; tongue; airway; malocclusion.
