Trifid mandibular condyle, an extremely rare anatomical variation, was identified in a 37-year-old woman. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this rare condylar abnormality.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Trifid mandibular condyle is an exceptionally rare anatomical abnormality.
  • Its etiology remains controversial in scientific literature.
  • Awareness among dental professionals is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A unilateral trifid condyle was incidentally discovered in a 37-year-old female patient during radiographic examination for a missing tooth.
  • The abnormality was noted on the right mandibular condyle.
  • Computed tomography (CT) with 3-D reconstruction was utilized for definitive diagnosis.

Findings:

  • This case represents the fourth reported instance of a trifid mandibular condyle in medical literature.
  • The patient presented with a unilateral trifid condyle, a rare finding.

  • Radiographic and CT imaging confirmed the distinct morphology of the mandibular condyle.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of trifid condyle is essential for understanding potential functional impairments.
    • Knowledge of this condition aids dental professionals in providing appropriate treatment.
    • Further research into the etiology and clinical significance of trifid condyle is warranted.
