摘要：

Introduction: Mandible being largest and strongest bone of skull, having various morphological features may show changes with reference to age, sex, and race. With this objectivity in mind, this study was conducted to furnish more information on variations in shape of coronoid process of the mandible. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 200 dry human south Indian mandibles. The data pertaining to above was taken and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Overall triangular type of coronoid process (67%) more prevalent than hook shape (30%) and rounded (3%). Triangular type more prevalent in males (72.2%) than females (51.1%), whereas hook shape more prevalent in females (44.9%) than males (25.2%) and rounded more prevalent in females (4.1%) than males (2.6). Conclusion: Shape of coronoid process may be used for sexing of mandibles. Coronoid process is used to identify the site for injection of local anesthetic or for excision of nerve for facial neuralgia.
