This retrospective study utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examined the styloid process in 498 patients with maxillofacial diseases, revealing a higher prevalence of elongated styloid process (ESP) in males. Significant gender differences were noted in styloid process length and internal oblique angles. The study highlights CBCT as a valuable tool for evaluating styloid process morphology and emphasizes the importance of considering gender variations in maxillofacial anatomy. Dental professionals can leverage CBCT for accurate assessment of styloid process abnormalities.
