| Title: | Bilateral coronoid hyperplasia - A report with a view on its management | Authors: | Loh, H.S. Ling, S.Y. Lian, C.B. Shanmuhasuntharam, P. |
Issue Date: | 1997 | Citation: | Loh, H.S.,Ling, S.Y.,Lian, C.B.,Shanmuhasuntharam, P. (1997). Bilateral coronoid hyperplasia - A report with a view on its management. Journal of Oral Rehabilitation 24 (10) : 782-787. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Bilateral coronoid hyperplasia requires surgery (coronoidectomy) to improve mouth opening. An intra-oral approach is preferred with direct fibre-optic anaesthetic intubation. Myotomy of the masseter muscle is recommended in cases where fibrotic and calcifying effects have occurred. Pre-operative physiotherapy counselling and post-operative jaw exercises are important to the final success of the management. © 1997 Blackwell Science Ltd. | Source Title: | Journal of Oral Rehabilitation | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/46660 | ISSN: | 0305182X |
