Abstract

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints of the human body. Abnormal development and growth of TMJ may lead to condyle aplasia present in several syndromes expressions, but extremely rare when not connected to any syndrome. Objective: A rare case of aplasia of the mandibular condyle is presented, along with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings. Conclusion: Based on clinical and radiological findings we suggest the abnormal development of the TMJ as the origin. The CBCT has provided high quality images, what made diagnosis possible.

Keywords

Mandible, condyle, aplasia, cone beam computed tomography, temporomandibular joint.

Resumo

Introdução: Desenvolvimento e crescimento anormais da articulação temporomandibular podem levar a aplasia da cabeça da mandíbula e normalmente está relacionada a uma síndrome, mas é extremamente rara sem tal associação. Objetivo: Mostrar um caso raro de aplasia da cabeça da mandíbula em paciente não-sindrômica e a utilização de achados em tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (CBCT). Conclusão: Baseando-se nos achados clínicos e radiográficos, sugere-se o desenvolvimento anormal da articulação como origem da anomalia. A CBCT proporcionou imagens de boa qualidade, possibilitando o diagnóstico

Palavras-chave
