  • Title: Bifid mandibular condyle: case report and etiological considerations.
    Author: de Sales MA, do Amaral JI, de Amorim RF, de Almeida Freitas R.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 2004 Mar; 70(3):158-62. PubMed ID: 15003162.
    Abstract:
    Bifid mandibular condyle, usually diagnosed on routine radiographic examination, is described in the literature as a rare entity. Its cause is controversial, and it has no predilection by sex or ethnic background. Dental professionals should have some knowledge of this anatomic abnormality, as well as its implications for function and appropriate treatment modalities, so that they can be alert to this potential diagnosis. This paper reports an unusual case of bifid mandibular condyle with possible traumatic cause, with emphasis on the radiographic and tomographic findings.
