Abstract

A child with unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis, micrognathia and obstructive sleep is presented. The safe management demands a multidisciplinary approach to select the best treatment option and sequence. The main aim of treatment is to achieve the highest Maximal Incisal Opening possible and immediate relieve of the narrow posterior airway space through release of the ankylotic bone mass. Satisfactory mouth opening was achieved in the immediate postoperative period but post-operative Apnea-Hypopnea Index does not return to normal level without additional mandibular advancement technique to further correct the retrognathia. Intensive jaw exercise is mandatory to achieve and maintain an acceptable Maximal Incisal Opening.
