RESUMO

The Coronoid Process Hyperplasia is a morphologic variation, which reduces mouth opening and interferes on mastication. Normally, it doesnt have pain symtomatology, and the patient will only look for treatment when there is pain or functional problems caused by compression of the Hyperplasic Coronoid Process on the zygomatic bone. Many practitioners ignore this alteration, and do treatment for termporomandibular joint disorder. This work proposes to show that is possible to suspect the presence of Coronoid Process Hyperplasia on panoramic radiography, and allied with clinical information, general practitioners can forward their patients to a specialist, to make more complex exams which will allow the conclusion of the diagnosis. The sample was composed by 150 panoramic radiographys, where included some suggestive radiographs of Coronoid Process Hyperplasia. These radiographs were analyzed by 3 Radiologists with at least 5 years of experience on this activity. It was concluded that panoramic radiography is an auxiliary way for initial diagnoses of this alteration and practitioners should attent the possible indicatives that this radiograph technique brings for diagnoses suggestion.
