Abstract

Abstract The causes of limited mandibular opening are summarized. Coronoid process enlargement in five patients is discussed; two cases of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia and a unilateral coronoid‐zygomatic ankylosis case underwent successful surgery. One of these bilateral patients exhibited bone regrowth a year later.
