<p>Infection of the distant parts of the body especially the joints after a tooth extraction is uncommon, but when it occurs due to the virulence of the organism or due to the risk factors, it may cause severe joint infection with abscess formation and may limit the movements. We report a case of arthritis of the knee joint along with involvement of other joints following mandibular third molar teeth extraction one week postoperatively. The patient had swelling and limited range of motion of the involved joints, pain over other multiple joints. The patient had two episodes of postoperative septic arthritis following each mandibular third molar extraction. He was diagnosed of having septic arthritis and treated with antibiotics, analgesics, and steroids, that resolved after 3 weeks. </p>

<p>Aplasia of mandibular condyle is one of the several facial manifestations of many syndromes. It is considered as an extremely exceptional stipulation, if it is not seen as a part of any syndrome. The incidence expected 1 in 5600. It occurs due to the growth instability in development of condyle in the intrauterine life, late in the first trimester. It is not discernible at birth and seems to be steadily acquired during the growth. We report a case of condylar aplasia on the right side in an 18-year-old female. The patient reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at ACPM dental College, Dhule, with a chief complaint of underdeveloped lower jaw. The etiology of this condition was unknown, clinical examination and conventional radiographs revealed complete absence of condyle on the right side. A proper diagnosis along with the differentiation from the syndromic cases is of importance. The aim of this article is to present a case with peculiar type of non-syndromic condylar aplasia. <strong></strong></p>
