Abstract:
In Class I and III malocclusion the position of the hyoid varies. We can able to predict the position of the hyoid when comparing its position between Class I malocclusion and Class III malocclusion. In this meta-analysis search was done using various keywords like "hyoid bone", "Class I", "Class III", "hyoid cephalometrics", "Pharyngeal airway", Pharyngeal changes", "Uvulo-glossopharyngeal" and "hyoid triangle". It was found that there was a definite correlation between the hyoid bone position in Class I and Class III malocclusion. It was found that the hyoid was more superiorly and anteriorly positioned in a class III malocclusion when compared to a class I malocclusion.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
