| 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. | ||
