Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Extracapsular ankylosis is a rare condition characterized by restricted jaw movement.
  • Fusion of the zygoma and coronoid process presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A specific case of extracapsular ankylosis involving zygomaticomaxillary and coronoid process fusion is presented.
  • Clinical examination revealed limited mandibular mobility.
  • Radiographic imaging (e.g., CT scans) was crucial for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The study outlines the diagnostic process, integrating clinical findings with advanced radiographic assessments.
  • A comprehensive treatment plan was developed to address the zygoma and coronoid process fusion.
  • Successful surgical intervention and rehabilitation strategies are discussed.
