Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint mostly affects children and young adults. Although it is rare, it is an extremely debilitating disease whose effects on growth, morphological development and personal development are significant. To manage this disorder, it is essential to be informed about the causes, about the anatomical shapes it presents and about its symptoms. This knowledge will also help us choose the most appropriate therapy, that may nevertheless result in failures and in relapses requiring prosthetic rehabilitation.

Background/purpose: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis causes inflammation and degradation of the mandibular condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) are models for studying TMJ arthritis. While micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is crucial for three-dimensional (3D) bone analysis, it has limitations in imaging nonmineralized tissues.
