“…14,17 Pain, restriction of mandibular movement, trismus, swelling, ankylosis and facial asymmetries have also been described. 4,5,9 Bilateral condylectomy and arthroplasty have been reported to restore function in a case of ankylosis accompanied by bifid condyle. 16 In the current study, two patients had complained of TMJ pain dysfunction; however, the examinations revealed that this was not associated with BMC.…”

“…Reported cases in living people and in preserved specimens are mostly unilateral and, usually, asymptomatic. [1][2][3][4][5] When reviewing the literature regarding BMC using the PubMed Database (National Library of Medicine), the authors found that it listed only 65 cases in living people (Table 1). Although the number of reports continues to accumulate, BMC remains a relatively uncommon condition.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) using panoramic radiographs supported by different radiographic techniques. A retrospective study was carried out by evaluating panoramic radiographs of 18,798 patients referred to the Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology. T-tests were used to compare the frequency of BMC between left and right sides and between female and male patients. In this study, 98 patients (0.52%) were found to have BMC. Of these patients, 51 (52%) were females and 47 (48%) were males. Of the 98 patients, 71 (72.4%) had unilateral and 27 (27.6%) had bilateral BMC. A total of 125 BMCs were found in 98 patients. No statistically significant differences were found between the right and left BMCs or between female and male patients (P > 0.05). Because symptoms associated with BMC are either absent or minimal, it is usually discovered as an incidental finding during routine radiographic examination. Different appearances of BMC can be seen on panoramic radiographs. The exact orientation of the condyles can only be determined using 3D imaging techniques. BMC may be a more frequent condition in the Turkish population. (J Oral Sci 53, 433-437, 2011)

“…The prospective symptoms of bifid and trifid mandibular condyle are TMJ disorders, such as pain, TMJ sounds, restricted mandibular movement, trismus, swelling, ankylosis and facial asymmetry. 10,11,15 However, there may not be any symptoms. In the present case, the patient had no symptoms except facial asymmetry and deviation during mouth opening.…”
