Abstract

Temporomandibular joint is the most unique joint in the whole body as it is two joints in one. It is a ginglymoarthrodial type of joint having a complex combination of rotation and translation movements to maintain normal form and function. Ankylosis refers to the intracapsular union of the components of the joint restricting the opening of the mouth and several physiological functions of the face. This report describes the multidisciplinary involvement in the surgical intervention for the treatment of TMJ ankylosis in a 35 year old male.
