Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Mandible is the strongest and largest bone of skull, having various morphological features which can be useful in identification of race, sex and age of the skeleton. Coronoid process can be an excellent graft for maxillofacial reconstructive surgeries. Aim: Primary aim of the present study is to find out various forms of coronoid process in Maharashtrian population and to discuss numerous factors responsible for it. Material and Methods: The study includes 130 mandibles (Male 82 and females 48) obtained from Department of Anatomy Government Medical College, Ambajogai, Government medical college, Solapur and Government Medical College, Nanded. Results and Conclusion: Triangular shaped coronoid process was found to be most predominant type (60.76%) followed by Hook (23.84%) and rounded (15.38%) types. Triangular shaped coronoid process was found to be significantly higher in females.
