Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is not uncommon in Ethiopia. These patients, usually of lower socioeconomic status, are seen at varied intervals after the onset of the disease, which is usually early in childhood. Ankylosis of the TMJ is one of the most serious complications of condylar fracture. Asymmetrical mandibular growth has been observed in about 25% of children who have sustained condylar fractures. The management of TMJ ankylosis has always been difficult and frustrating, particularly when dealing with long-standing or recurrent cases, or if the case is complicated by deformities of the jaw bones. Extreme poverty was the main predisposing factor. There is a need for a concerted effort among healthcare providers, policy makers, and the world in general to eradicate poverty and improve healthcare to limit the incidence of ankylosis of the TMJ.
Objective: To assess the Incidence, Clinical presentation and surgical managements of Temporomandibular joint Ankylosis.
Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from April to October 2016 G.C. The required minimum sample size for the study was calculated by using the formula and found to be 384.16. Convenient sampling method utilized as sampling technique.
Result:A total 1856 new patients were seen at the department of Oral and maxillofacial surgery in SPHMMC from 2011 till 2015. Sample size for the study was calculated by using the formula and found to be 384.16. From this 58 patients were diagnosed with TMJa. The incidence rate of TMJa out of the total maxillofacial region diseases were 15.1% and the most frequent age group was 10 – 19 years. Trauma was the commonest aetiology (93.1%). Various types (bony (87.9%), fibrous (5.17%), fibro osseous (6.89%). Gap arthroplasty showed most utilized surgical management account (70.68%).
Conclusion:The main causes of ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint are trauma and infection. Ankylosis of the TMJ is distressing because it compromises function and the facial deformity has an adverse psychological effect on the child. There is a need for concerted effort among healthcare providers to institute preventive measures including adequate treatment of infections and early treatment of maxillofacial injuries.

What would our patients say if we told them that they could have significantly fuller and more beautiful lips without undergoing a painful aesthetic procedure, without needles, incisions or grafts and that at the same time their teeth will look more attractive as a result of the same painless and effective procedure; It’s our mission as dentist who practice cosmetic dentistry on a daily basis to remind patients that in the same procedure they can gain lip volume and improve the aesthetics of their lips thereby avoiding the secondary negative effects to their smile with additional procedures.
