title: [Simultaneous surgical correction of temporomandibular ankylosis and facial symmetry. Presentation of a case].
abstract: The authors stress the fact that the clinical course of a monolateral TMJ ankylosis tends to be more severe in young people. In this paper we analyze the diagnostic procedure for a tridimensional observation of any morphological and spatial alteration. The surgical procedure that permits the simultaneous correction of ankylosis and associated facial deformities is discussed.
