Abstract

Objectives:This retrospective cephalometric study was carried to evaluate and
correlate the coronoid process morphology in three groups of subjects exhibiting
different vertical jaws discrepancies
Materials and Methods: Each group consisted of 25 subjects, five cephalometric
measurements for coronoid procress and 9 linear and angular measurements were
used to evaluate coronoid process, craniofacial and mandibular rotation
morphology.
Results:There were statistically significant differences in coronoid process
morphology between normodivergent subjects and both hypodivergent and
hyperdivergent subjects(P<0.05),and coronoid process measurements were
significantly correlated with mandibular rotation measurements
Conclusion: coronoid process morphology was found to be related to mandibular
morphology and to the function of the temporal muscle
