Sumario:Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a joint stiffness with an oral aperture of less than 30 mm measured between the incisors, occurring because of a bony, fibrous or fibro-osseous fusion. Arthrosis is a rare cause of the ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint. We report a case of ankylosis of the TMJ due to osteoarthrosis, in order to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this quite uncommon disease.
