The incidence of mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament complex, according to radiographic findings, was analysed in a group of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and compared with that of a control group of asymptomatic individuals (AI). Both groups were similar considering the prevalence of the female gender as well as the distribution of cases according to age. 'Elongated' was the most frequent radiographic appearance in both groups; 'partially mineralized' was the most frequent radiographic pattern in the TMD group; and the lower ramus was the most frequent location of mineralization in both groups. When comparing between groups and according to each class, there was only one significant difference in radiographic appearance, 'pseudoarticulated' being more frequent in the TMD group. We can conclude that the occurrence and characteristics of mineralization of stylohyoid ligament complex were similar in TMD patients and AIs.
