Resumen
Purpose: To determine the height and volume of the mandibular coronoid process (CP) by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to identify the presence of any correlations of these measurements with age, gender, facial type, and skeletal class. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 132 patients from a departmental routine patient base. After CBCT, CP height was determined using OnDemand 3D software (CyberMed, Seoul, Republic of Korea), and CP volume was obtained using ITK-SNAP 3.0 software (Cognitica, Philadelphia, PA). Measurements were subjected to analysis of covariance against facial type, skeletal class, gender, and age, with a significance level of 5%. Results: CP height and volume were similar regardless of age, facial type, and skeletal class. However, the 2 measurements were statistically different regarding gender, with larger values for men than for women. Conclusions: These observations suggest that gender is the only factor influencing the height and volume of the CP. (C) 2015 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons 73 7
