“…One or both sides of CPH can cause impingement of the coronoid process on the zygomatic bone, thus restricting mandibular movement. The CPH phenomenon usually occurs during long‐term true or pseudo‐temporomandibular joint ankylosis, and unilateral or even bilateral coronoidectomy or coronoidotomy must be performed intraoperatively (Ambereen et al, 2021). Conversely, excessive CPH can sometimes lead to restricted mouth opening (Farronato et al, 2019; Goh et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2016).…”

Coronoid process hyperplasia (CPH) is an oral and maxillofacial surgical disease that can result in restricted jaw movement due to an enlarged and elongated mandibular coronoid process. It is characterized by the painless progressive restriction of unilaterally or bilaterally mouth opening. Clinically, unexplained bilateral CPH is less common and therefore often overlooked or misdiagnosed, and coronoidectomy can be very effective on improving mouth opening. Currently, the exact etiology and mechanism of congenital CPH have not yet been fully understood, but it is generally believed to be genetically related. In this paper, the relationship of the congenital mandibular CPH with the related diseases was examined based on cases collected in our clinic and literature review for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with restricted mouth opening associated with CPH.
