Background:

Bifid mandibular condyle is a rare developmental anomaly affecting the jawbone.
Understanding its prevalence is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Observation:

Two new cases of unilateral bifid mandibular condylar heads were identified.
Literature review revealed only four previously reported cases in living patients.

Findings:

The condition is significantly underreported in living populations.
Twenty-two cases have been documented in dried skulls or cadavers, suggesting potential preservation bias.

Implications:

Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology of this rare condylar malformation.

Increased awareness may improve diagnostic rates in clinical practice.

This anomaly may have implications for temporomandibular joint function and treatment.
