“…Cranin reported an incidental finding of osseous protrusion from the sigmoid notch, referred to as the second coronoid process, on the mandibular right side in a 28-year-old female [ 12 ]. Lundquist and Wege reported two normally formed coronoid processes, referred to as the double coronoid process, in a 41-year-old white male on the right side of the mandible [ 13 ]. Patil et al found a unilateral bifid coronoid process on the right side of the jaw in a 58-year-old male, which was an incidental finding on the panoramic image that was later confirmed by CBCT [ 2 ].…”

“…There are limited cases in the literature reporting variation in the number of the coronoid process such as the bifid coronoid process. Patil et al [ 2 ], Cranin [ 12 ], Lundquist and Wege [ 13 ], Kansu et al [ 14 ], and de Gittins et al [ 15 ] reported cases of bifid/double coronoid process or second coronoid process. To date, no case of trifid coronoid process has been reported.…”

The trifid mandibular coronoid process is an uncommon finding characterized by three projections arising from the mandibular ramus instead of a single triangular coronoid process. Previous authors reported cases of the bifid coronoid process. The authors referred to them as the bifid/second/double coronoid process. This article aims to report a unique case of a trifid coronoid process incidentally detected during radiographic evaluation for implant planning. This article also emphasizes the effectiveness of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) volume rendering as a valuable tool in demonstrating morphological variations such as the trifid coronoid process. In addition, we discussed possible etiologies for the trifid coronoid process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of the trifid coronoid process.
