Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis involves the fusion of the mandibular condyle with the base of the skull. It is an extremely disabling affliction. In growing patients, deformities of the mandible and maxilla may occur together with malocclusion causing dysphonia, dysphagia, facial deformity, impairment of upper airway and psychological stress. Mandible function rehabilitation, prevention of relapse and promotion of mandible growth are the main goals of the treatment. The arthroplasty in gap technic is indicated in the treatment of TMJ ankylosis. It is a challenging procedure, requiring a massive resection of abnormal bone formation at the base of the skull of the complex anatomy. Different techniques have been developed over period of time but recurrence still remains the major problem when treating TMJ ankylosis. The purpose of this paper is to reveal etiopathogenesis & various treatment modalities in management of TMJ ankylosis.
