“…Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is an intracapsular union of the disc condyle complex to the temporal articular surface that including fibrous adhesion or bony fusion between condyle of mandible and glenoid fossa and articular eminence of squamous temporal bone 3 . It is true joint pathology with bony mass or fibrous tissue, which replaces the normal articulation 4 .…”

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is a gradually developing condition manifested by mandibular hypomobility. Limitation of mouth opening can be caused by bony or fibrous ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint as sequel to trauma, infection, and autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in various age groups and to see the etiology of temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Females predominate with 35 (58.30%). Age ranged from 4 to 36 years and 11-20 years (60%) group predominating. In unilateral cases, left side involvement was more common in both males and females. TMJ ankylosis was post traumatic in 47(78.3%) cases followed by infection 7(11.7%) while birth trauma 2(3.3%) was rare. RTA was seen to the most frequent etiological factor followed by the fall. Conclusions: Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is a preventive entity if posttraumatic rehabilitation is instituted early and properly.

“…This mass is the pathology responsible for the ankylosis, but it is not a neoplastic process capable of continued growth 34 . TMJa occurs primarily in the first and second decades of life (35-92%) and is commonly associated with trauma (13-100%), local or systemic infection (0-53%), systemic diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis (28%); it also occurs after TMJ surgery 8,11,15,24 .…”

“…The surgical risk is considerable and the advantage gained marginal, since complete elimination of the ankylotic bone creates an extensive area of healing bone where scar tissue will form. Salins 17 proposed 'subankylotic osteotomy' below the ankylosed area, instead of aggressive resection. His technique offers a departure from the conventional philosophy of management of craniomandibular ankylosis.…”
