Abstract
Bifid Mandibular Condyle as described in this study is very rare case of condylar anatomy, mostpreferably diagnosedon incidental radiographic examination. It is noticed at any age with male dilection of 3:2 ratio. The etiology and pathogenesis of Bifid Mandibular Condyle though remains controversial and it lacks pathognomic clinical features and proper description as only few case are reported so far. Herein, a study of 5 cases of unilateral bifid condyle in Jammu and Kashmir population is reported.
Keywords: Unilateral, Condyle, Bifid, very rare entity.
