Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is defined as osseous or fibrous fusion of the condyle of the mandible and the mandibular fossa of temporal bone (Nitzan et. al. 1998). It renders the afflicted person unable to use their oral cavity well. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis or hypomobility involves fusion of the mandibular condyle to the base of the skull. It is a major clinical problem that affects many patients suffering from facial trauma, infection, or systemic disease. Clinical presentation depends on the age at which ankylosis occurs and whether ankylosis is unilateral or bilateral. The treatment of TMJ ankylosis poses a significant challenge because of technical difficulties and a high incidence of recurrence. Surgery and postoperative physiotherapy are regarded as the mainstay treatment for TMJ ankylosis.
