Mandibular Movement Restoration in a Child with Bilateral Coronoid Hyperplasia: A Case Report.

Background: Coronoid process hyperplasia is an uncommon finding, characterized by an enlargement of the coronoid process, causing a mechanical obstacle by its interposing in the posterior portion of the maxilla or zygomatic arch.

Case Presentation: The article presents a case report of a bilateral coronoid process hyperplasia in a 3-year-old girl demonstrated with inability to open the mouth and restricted jaw movement. Panoramic x-ray and 3-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction showed bilateral elongation of the coronoid processes associated with deformation of the mandibular condyle with no involvement of the articular space.

Multiple pathohisthological parameters influencing prognosis and survival of oral cancer patients.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic value of available clinical and histological parameters to predict subclinical nodal metastases and survival. For that purpose we used a modification of the Jakobsson [9] grading system proposed by Richard W. Nason [12] and applied it to a series of patients with oral carcinoma.
