Tratamento de hiperplasia coronoide por coronoidotomia: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

The hyperplasia of the mandibular coronoid process is an uncommon condition of uncertain etiology, characterized by abnormal elongation of the bone, with consequent limitation of mandibular movements. Coronoidotomy is a treatment technique that involves osteotomy and maintance of the hyperplastic fragment, and it is considered less invasive and simpler compared to the more usual technique, coronoidectomy. This study aims to analyze, through an integrative literature review, the results obtained in the treatment of coronoid process hyperplasia using the coronoidotomy technique. A search was conducted in the Pubmed/Medline, LILACS, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, including studies in all languages and without publication date restrictions. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 studies were selected for analysis. It was concluded that coronoidotomy is an effective technique for treating coronoid process hyperplasia, yielding satisfactory results in maintaining patients' mouth opening.
