[Hyperplasia of the coronoid processes of the mandible--case-history].

Hyperplasia of the coronoid processes of the mandible in a 36-year-old man was associated, in addition to difficult opening of the mouth, with noises of apparently articular origin. The noise was due to the shifting of the coronoid processes along the inner surfaces of the temporal processes of the facial bones. On the X-ray picture also the elongated styloid processes were striking as well as symmetrial exostoses at the lower borderline of the mandible and condylar processes deformed without any apparent cause.

Adult

[Differential diagnosis in painful dysfunctions of the mandibular joint].

The painful dysfunctional syndrome of the mandibular joint is characterized by an impaired functional equilibrium of the masticating apparatus, the main constituents of which are the mandibular joint, the masseters and dentition. The symptoms associated with the syndrome are usually non-specific and are found also in other diseases of the orofacial region. The author describes some pathological conditions which may be mistaken for painful dysfunctional syndrome, in particular if they take an atypical course with a less marked symptomatology.

[Treatment of difficult opening of the mouth by redressment].

In 228 patients treated at the Second Stomatological Clinic on account of difficult opening of the mouth after failure of rehabilitation treatment surgical treatment--redressment had to be used. In two patients it was necessary to amputate the muscular processus of the mandible and to eliminate adhesion. The authors describe the method of one-stage redressment which they perform under general anaesthesia and myorelaxation during short-term hospitalization of the patient. They evaluate this method in indicated cases as very satisfactory as it has an immediate and permanent therapeutic effects.
