title: Temporomandibular joint dysplasia and open-mouth jaw locking in the dog.
abstract: In 2 Basset Hounds, the condyloid processes of the mandible became subluxated when the mouth was opened widely, resulting in repeated episodes of locking of the coronoid process lateral to the zygomatic arch. Locking was prevented by osteotomy of a ventral portion of the zygomatic arch.
