Among the causes of reduction in mouth opening gradually and without pain in young patients, we find the hypertrophy of the coronoid process. It is a disease due to abnormal elongation of the bone growth process, which causes a mechanical disruption when the patient opens the mouth. We present our experience with a casuistic of 5 clinical cases.
