Abstract
Objective of the Study: To know the various various morphological shapes of Coronoid Process of the Mandible. Materials and methods: The study was carried out using 100 dry mandibles comprised of both sexes in the department of Anatomy of S.V.Medical College,Tirupati,A.P. The different shapes of the coronoid process were found for both the right and left sides and the data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The current study has illustrated various morphological shapes of the Coronoid Process of the Mandible and 82% of mandibles showed bilateral similarity and 18% showed difference from the opposite side. The most common shape of the coronoid process was observed to be Hook shaped costituting 47.5%, Traingular shape constitutes 28.5% and Round shape Coronoid process consists of 24%. Conclusion: Knowledge of the variant morphological shapes of the coronoid process is useful for the maxillofacial surgeon during reconstructive surgeries and used as a donor site for sinus augmentation. It is also useful for anatomist, anthropological studies and in forensic dentistry.
