Abstract

Ankylosis of the mandibular condyle to the skull base can be caused by temporomandibular joint dysfunction, trauma, infection or systemic disease.... Temporomandibular joint ankylosis cause limitation of mandibular condyle movement. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with complete temporomandibular joint fusion following a childhood trauma created fracture of the mandibular condyle. Cone beam image shows that the left mandibular condyle is fully fused while the broken tip of the Ramus forms a pseudoarticular socket in the temporal fossa.
