AB  - The coronoid process is a beaklike process in the ramus of the mandible. Coronoid 
      process hyperplasia (CPH) is a rare possible cause of reduced mouth opening. An 
      overgrown process interferes with mandibular rotation and lateral excursion and 
      hence leads to restricted mouth opening (RMO). Although some factors are 
      suggested, etiology of CPH is not completely known. Prescription of suitable 
      radiography is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. This article reports a 
      30-year-old man with bilateral CPH and progressive RMO since childhood. This 
      disorder affected his oral hygiene and quality of life. With the help of 
      different types of radiography, CPH was diagnosed and coronoidectomy was the only 
      treatment option. The patient showed normal jaw movements after the surgery and 
      postoperative physiotherapy. General dentists have an important role in noticing 
      RMO and referring the patients to maxillofacial radiologists. Although it is a 
      rare phenomenon, general dentists need to keep CPH in mind as a possible cause. 
      Panoramic imaging accompanied by computed tomography or cone beam computed 
      tomography is the best imaging option in such cases.
