Summary
This study presents the bicoronal flap technique for surgically treating bilateral coronoid hyperplasia. The approach details managing large coronoid process lesions.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Surgical Anatomy
Background:
- Bilateral coronoid hyperplasia is a rare condition causing limited jaw opening.
- Surgical intervention is often necessary for significant functional impairment.
Observation:
- A case of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia was treated using a bicoronal flap.
- This surgical approach provides wide exposure to the coronoid process.
Findings:
- The bicoronal flap facilitated access for the surgical management of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia.
- The technique allowed for effective resection of large coronoid process lesions.
Implications:
- The bicoronal flap is a viable surgical option for treating bilateral coronoid hyperplasia.
- This approach may be beneficial for other large lesions of the coronoid process.
