title: [A particular temporomandibular disorder: the temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Basic and clinical concepts].
abstract: Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint mostly affects children and young adults. Although it is rare, it is an extremely debilitating disease whose effects on growth, morphological development and personal development are significant. To manage this disorder, it is essential to be informed about the causes, about the anatomical shapes it presents and about its symptoms. This knowledge will also help us choose the most appropriate therapy, that may nevertheless result in failures and in relapses requiring prosthetic rehabilitation.
