The radiographic length of the styloid process was measured on both sides using the measurement toolbars on the accompanying analysis software. For statistical analysis, Student’s t-test, chi-square test and analysis of variance test were used.Results: The elongated styloid process was seen in 87 of the 198 patients. It was observed that as age increased, elongation of the styloid process increased with a male predominance. Type I elongation was more common than other types of elongation. Bilateral elongation was most commonly found than unilateral elongation, and both types of elongation were frequently seen in males compared with females.Conclusion: The prevalence of the elongated styloid process in the present study was higher in comparison to the other reports from edentulous patients. Keywords: styloid process, elongation, digital panoramic radiographs AlZarea BKDove Medical PressarticleStyloid processElongationDigital Panoramic radiographs.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 12, Pp 611-617 (2017)
