Bifid mandibular condyles, a rare jaw anomaly, are infrequently symptomatic and often found incidentally on dental X-rays. This report details 15 cases, noting a left-sided predilection and adult onset.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Bifid mandibular condyle is a rare congenital anomaly of the temporomandibular joint.
  • Previous literature reports are limited, necessitating further documentation and analysis.

Observation:

  • This report adds 15 new cases of bifid mandibular condyles to the English-language literature.
  • An additional case was identified in a dried skeletal specimen.
  • The anomaly shows no racial or gender predilection and predominantly affects adults.

Findings:

  • Most patients (67%) with bifid mandibular condyles are asymptomatic.
  • The condition is typically discovered as an incidental finding on dental panoramic radiography.
  • The left mandibular condyle is affected approximately twice as often as the right.

Implications:

  • The etiology, epidemiology, and long-term functional consequences of bifid mandibular condyles remain largely unknown.
  • The transorbital condylar view is recommended as a cost-effective, low-radiation imaging technique for diagnosing this anomaly.
  • Further research is needed to understand the clinical significance and management of this condition.
