“…The histopathology of the coronoid process and the temporalis muscle attached to it suggested of muscle atrophy which was very much similar to a case series reported, wherein coronoidectomy was done for extra-articular trismus of unknown cause. 21 Odontogenic fibroma is best treated with enucleation as it has no tendency to undergo malignant transformation 3,7 and recurrence is not common 19 and same was done in our case wherein we throroughly enucleated the tumour, followed by curettage and peripheral ostectomy and the bony bed was treated with Cornoy's solution. The patient is under follow-up for 1 year with no signs of recurrence and a good mouth opening is maintained.…”

“…Recently, however, the first case of MMTAH outside Japan was reported in Switzerland [35]. In contrast, Lehman et al reported that four female patients presenting with limited mouth opening and lateral and protrusive movements within the normal range had been treated by bilateral coronoidectomy and showed a significant improvement in mouth opening [36]. Although they did not mention our papers, we consider that these cases must be MMTAH [37].…”

“…Nos presentes casos, devido à demora de procura do tratamento de ambos os pacientes, dois e quatro anos após o trauma inicial, podemos notar que a evolução dos sintomas foi gradual e progressiva. O tratamento pode variar em coronoidectomia uni ou bilateral, com abordagem intra ou extraoral, como acessos pré auriculares ou submandibulares 2,3,8,13,15 , de acordo com a literatura, a eleição da coronoidectomia unilateral com uma abordagem intraoral foi realizada em ambos os pacientes, visando a menor morbidade cirúrgica e os melhores resultados estéticos. Além do tratamento cirúrgico, o controle pós-operatório e o tratamento de fisioterapia local imediato, como realizado já no primeiro dia pós-operatório, contribuem e garantem a restauração da abertura dos movimentos da boca e do maxilar, evitando a neoformação óssea, a formação de fibrose e cicatrização dos músculos 7 .…”
