Introduction: Bilateral coronoid hyperplasia is an abnormal elongation of the mandibular coronoid process which is rare in occurrence and causes progressive but slow reduction in mouth opening. In case of reduction in zygomatic arch fracture by Gillies temporal approach, the presence of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia can be a possible factor for hindrance and improper reduction.
Material And Methods: We propose a technical note to overcome this hindrance caused by the coronoid hyperplasia and propose tips and tricks to successful reduction in zygomatic arch.
Results: Adequate reduction in the zygomatic arch and pretrauma mouth opening was achieved.
Conclusion: Manual repositioning of the mandible during Gillies temporal approach along with ultrasound guidance leads to a satisfactory outcome.

Masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia (MMTAH) is a disease that presents as a hard trismus due to hyperplasia of the masseter and temporalis aponeurosis. Standard surgical methods for MMTAH include masseter resection, temporalis aponeurosis, and coronoidectomy. The operation of resecting the tendon aponeurosis attached to the posterior surface of the coronoid process carries the risk of bleeding and nerve damage because it cannot be observed directly.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperplasia of the coronoid process is a rare condition marked by excessive growth of the coronoid process, leading to restricted jaw movement over time.
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment heavily rely on imaging techniques, with conventional X-rays being essential, but CT scans providing more precise insights.
- A case study of a 14-year-old boy who experienced jaw-opening difficulties since childhood highlights the necessity for correct diagnosis and ongoing follow-up after his surgery to remove the enlarged coronoid processes, as recurrence was noted post-operation.

Langen Beck disease, a rare idiopathic disorder, causes enlarged coronoid processes of the mandible, leading to restricted oral opening and deteriorating health. This paper presents a 10-year-old boy's case with bilateral hyperplasia of the coronoid processes (HCP), diagnosed using cranial computed tomography, severely limiting oral opening to 18 mm. Treatment involved early intraoral coronoidectomy followed by physiotherapy, yielding immediate oral opening improvement without recurrence after 1 year.

Introduction: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) reankylosis is one of TMJ arthroplasty complications that can interfere masticatory function and aesthetics. This case report aimed to describe a TMJ reankylosis in growing age patient that occurred 5 years after interpositional arthroplasty using gold foil. Interpositional arthroplasty using temporalis fascia and costochondral graft followed by unilateral coronoidectomy could be a treatment option.

The aim of this study was to assess the morphological characteristics of the coronoid process (CP) and define coronoid hyperplasia (CH) using cadaveric mandibles of a Caucasian population. A sample of 151 adult dry cadaveric mandibles (302 CPs) was acquired. Three distances were measured, which included the width, height, and length of CP.
