“…8 The shape and size of coronoid process is influenced by dietary habit, genetic constitution, hormonal and mainly by temporalis muscle activity. 9 In the present study, the incidence of the rounded shape was the highest followed by the triangular shape. In most studies in India the triangular shape was most commonly observed.…”

The Coronoid process is a triangular upward projection from antero-superior part of ramus of mandible giving attachment to two important muscles of mastication. Aims: The aim of our study was to observe the variations in shape and size of coronoid process and establish the morphometric profile in Indian population. Materials and Methods: The material for this study comprised of 500 adult human mandibles. The shape of coronoid process was observed and its height and length were measured. Results: Three variants of coronoid process were observed (round, triangular and hook) with incidence percentage 46, 42 and 12 respectively. The mean value of height and length of coronoid process came out to be 60.62 mm and 12.53 mm respectively. Conclusions: This morphometric treatise provides valuable inputs relevant for anthropological comparisons, forensic investigations and reconstructive procedures.
