ABSTRACT

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA) is due to union of the condyle with the glenoid fossa as it results to a long-standing, persistent, difficulty in mouth opening. It affects facial growth leading to facial deformity. It is also related to poor oral hygiene, dyspnea, mastication and deglutition which in turn affect the quality of life of the patients. In this article, we present a case report on post-traumatic bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis secondary to condylar fracture.
