This article describes the incidence of calcification in the stylohyoid ligament in a sample of the patient population of the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry. The records of 479 patients were reviewed, with particular attention given to the panoramic radiograph. The patients ranged in age from 4 to 78 years, with a mean age of 29. There was a sharp increase in incidence of calcification during the first three decades of age from 45.3% in the first decade to 86.2% in the third, with a gradual increase from the fourth to the seventh decade (87.3% to 92%). The eighth decade, represented by nine patients, showed an incidence of 100%. There appears to be no race predilection for calcification, a slight sex predilection for females, and an age incidence that seems to support both the developmental and degenerative theories of etiology of calcification in the stylohyoid ligament.
本文描述了密西西比大学牙科学院患者群体样本中茎突舌骨韧带钙化的发生率。回顾了479例患者的记录，特别关注全景X线片。患者年龄在4岁至78岁之间，平均年龄为29岁。在年龄的前三十年中，钙化发生率急剧上升，从第一个十年的45.3%上升到第三个十年的86.2%，从第四个十年到第七个十年逐渐上升（从87.3%到92%）。以9名患者为代表的第八个十年，钙化发生率为100%。茎突舌骨韧带钙化似乎没有种族倾向，女性有轻微的性别倾向，年龄发生率似乎支持钙化病因的发育和退行性理论。
