Abstract
Ankylosis of TMJ is the bony or fibrous fusion of articular components of joint. Ankylosis of TMJ can lead to facial deformity, which worsens with growth, having a negative influence on the psychological development of the patient. The present case report is of a 58-year-old female patient who reported with an inability to open mouth which was diagnosed as unilateral bony ankylosis. This case was treated by interposition gap arthroplasty followed by physiotherapy. Since TMJ ankylosis may go unnoticed for a long time, early intervention is mandatory for proper growth and function of the mandible.
