Although zygomatico-coronoid ankylosis may have been encountered by many oral surgeons, its occurrence has rarely been reported. A review of the literature has disclosed only nine reported cases. The treatment of these cases has been by coronoidectomy with either an intraoral or extraoral approach.
There are, at present, a number of clinical and radiologic methods available to establish the buccopalatal relationship of an impacted maxillary canine. A new method, employing the Status-X x-ray machine, can now be used. This technique makes use of the fact that the anode of the Status-X machine is considered to have an almost point source of x-radiation. Applying the laws of central projection, an object closer to the focal point will produce a larger image on a film than that produced by an object of equal size but farther away from the focal point. In a recent series of twenty-eight canine transplant procedures, this method was used with great success to establish, preoperatively, the position of the impacted canines.
