Coronoid process is a triangular plate of bone seen in the upper part of ramus of the mandible. It shows variations in the shape due to the differences in the attachment of two important muscles of mastication- masseter and temporalis. The changes in the shape helps in identification of race and to surgeons during operative procedures. The aim of the present study is to observe the changes in the shape and to compare with other studies. 121 sides of the mandibles were studied and the results were represented graphically. A unique quadrilateral shape of the coronoid process was detected for a mandible unilaterally. The most common shape was triangular (43.80%) followed by rounded (38.84%) and hooked (16.52%) in that order. The values correlated with other studies on comparison as p value calculated was significant statistically.
