Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a joint stiffness with an oral aperture of less than 30 mm measured between the incisors, occurring because of a bony, fibrous or fibro-osseous fusion. Arthrosis is a rare cause of the ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint. We report a case of ankylosis of the TMJ due to osteoarthrosis, in order to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this quite uncommon disease.

Since the 1960s, various surgical procedures have been developed to treat the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease, including stock or customized prostheses for severe TMJ diseases. Understanding the appropriate indications and timing for joint replacement is crucial for evaluating the prognosis of the treatment. This study sought to identify the indications for joint replacement surgery in three countries in Latin America and to determine characteristics associated with its surgical planning.
