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.
Keywords
