Abstract

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is one of the most disruptive maladies that can afflict the masticatoty system. It is characterized by difficulty or inability to open the mouth due to fusion of the temporal and condyle of the mandible, resulting in facial deformity, malocclusion and dental problems. Various autogenous and allogenic grafts are available for condylar reconstruction after gap arthroplasty. This case report describes use of autogenos coronoid process for condylar reconstruction in 12 year old female patient.

Keywords: Ankylosis, Coronoid process, Gap arthroplasty, Temporalis Facia ,Temporal mandibular joint.
