Morphological analysis of coronoid process shape variations in adult human mandibles.

Change in the shape of the coronoid process on 80 dried adult human mandibles is of interest. Data shows that 47.5% of the cases involved triangular coronoid processes, 35% had rounded shapes and 17.5% had hook-shaped coronoid processes. Eight out of ten cases showed bilateral symmetry. Most of the furnishings took a triangular shape. These results are important for identifying people after an accident.
