This study was carried out to evaluate the length and prevalence and type of elongation of the styloid process by using panoramic radiographs. A total of 650 OPG (384 males and 266 females) were included in the study. The mean length of right and left side of styloid process in males was 25.9±8.16 and 25.3±5.86 respectively and in females the right and left sided length was 21.78±7.90 and 21.11±6.40 respectively. The results were statistically significant in between gender (both left and right side) but not significant in between sides within each gender. The prevalence of eagle syndrome is 17.2% in the study population.most common type of elongation was TYPE I followed by Type II and Type III. OPG is most commonly used radiographic technique for detection of an elongated styloid process.
