A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE TONGUE MANDIBLE AND HYOID BONE POSITION BETWEEN THE ADENOID HYPERTROPHIED CHILDREN AND THE NORMAL CHILDREN

Lymphadenoid가 Hypertrophy된 아동과 정상아동간의 Tongue, Mandible 및 Hyoid bone의 위치비교에 관한 연구

The author studied 21 adenoid hypertrophied children and 50 normal children by the horizontal, vertical and angular measurements to analyze, the effects of the lymphadenoid hypertrophy to the tongue, mandible, and hyoid bone position. The results were as follows; 1. The tongue of the Adenoid hypertrophy children was positioned mon anterior and lower than that of the normal children. 2. The horizontal, vertical, and angular measurements of the mandible position were larger in the experimental group and especially ANS to ME, PNS to MP, PTM to MP, PP to MP, FOP to MP showed statistically significant difference. 3. The measurements of the hyoid bone position were also larger in the experimental group.
