Investigation of coronoid process hyperplasia using Levandoski analysis on panoramic radiographs.

Background: The diagnosis of coronoid process hyperplasia (CPH) is usually based on symptoms and radiological imaging. Because of its similar symptoms, it can be confused with temporomandibular joint diseases. Therefore, an objective and reproducible way of diagnosis should be determined.

Evaluation of the pharyngeal recess with cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiological anatomy of the pharyngeal recess (PR) by gender and age.

Methods: Images of patients who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 600 PRs (140 male, 160 female) were examined.
