- Abstract
Objective: To report a case of temporomandibular joint ankylosis with classic features diagnosed by conventional and advanced imaging modalities Material and Methods: A 20-year-old male patient reported with restricted mouth opening since birth. On extraoral examination, the face was symmetrical with retrognathic mandible, incompetent lips, no TMJ movement and the mouth opening was completely restricted. On intraoral examination, protrusive maxillary incisors and anterior open bite, posterior cross bite on both sides, mobility was present in all teeth. Results: Panoramic, TMJ view and CT images revealed loss of joint space due to boney fusion with large mass in both TMJ. On the basis of these findings, the case was diagnosed as bilateral bony ankylosis. Conclusion: This case report highlights the need for utilization of conventional and advanced imaging modalities as an effective diagnostic aid in the early diagnosis and the management of TMJ ankylosis.
