“…Computed tomography and cone-beam computed tomography provide three-dimensional visualization of condyles in three orthogonal planes namely the coronal, sagittal and axial sections. In conventional radiographs like panoramic radiography, bifid condyle may not be apparent sometimes, since orthopantomography is a two-dimensional imaging technique, where the presence of an aberrant extra condyle is masked by superimposition or overlapping of the functional posteriorly placed condyle over the anterior head [ 8 ].…”

“…The treatment modalities for bifid condyle depend on the clinical signs and symptoms [ 8 ]. No treatment is indicated in asymptomatic cases of the bifid condyle [ 8 ]. However, if clicking of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) persists in cases of the bifid condyle, condylectomy or eminectomy is suggested.…”

Bifid condyle is a rare developmental anomaly that results from an obstructed blood supply during its development. Bifid condyle is more often unilateral, although bilateral. A case of a bifid condyle is evaluated three-dimensionally in three orthogonal planes namely coronal, sagittal and axial sections. The etiology, clinical features, diagnostic, non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities of bifid condyle are discussed.
