The coronoid process of mandible is of great clinical significance to maxillofacial surgeons for reconstructive purposes. Its variations can result in extremely narrow vestibular space, due to close proximity of the medial aspect of coronoid process to distal molar tooth. It is suitable for paranasal augmentation with the advantages of biocompatibility, availability and reduced operation time for harvesting. The knowledge of its variations is very helpful in anthropological and forensic practice. The present study was aimed to measure various dimensions of coronoid process and its variations in human mandible. |
