Patients with coronoid process hyperplasia of the mandibular area are rare. The treatment of this disease is to increase the patient's mouth opening by surgery. There are various, but controversial, methods to treat it. We present a modified (gap) coronoidotomy procedure in detail and compare it with other conventional methods to treat coronoid process hyperplasia.
