PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to define the coronoid-condylar index (CCI). MATERIALS AND 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. CONCLUSION: The proposed CCI can be used for the evaluation of anomalies of the mandibular coronoid processes.
