Abstract

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a joint disorder which refers to bone adhesion of the anatomic joint components, resulting in loss of function [1]. The etiologies of TMJ ankylosis include previous trauma, previous TMJ surgery, arthritis, and infection. It can be congenital, and in some cases, idiopathic. The most common etiology of TMJ ankylosis is previous trauma, with the second being infection [2].
