title: Coronoid-condylar index in assessing of mandibular coronoid hyperplasia. Preliminary results.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to define the coronoid-condylar index (CCI).
  
  
  METHODS
  The material for studies comprised 26 patients. Thirteen patients were treated for bilateral coronoid hyperplasia. The remaining 13 patients were included in the control group. Based on 3D CT measurements, the coronoidcondylar index (CCI) was calculated and assessed statistically.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In patients with coronoid hyperplasia mean CCI was 1.25, while in the control group it was 1.00.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The proposed CCI can be used for the evaluation of anomalies of the mandibular coronoid processes.
