“…In both instances, there was trauma to the head and neck. In the third case, no potential cause of the TMC could be identified [3]. Our patient had been involved in a traffic accident resulting in trauma to the facial region at the age of 11 years.…”

“…Coincidentally discovered, asymptomatic cases have also been reported [1,3,4,12]. In the three reported cases of TMC, the clinical findings ranged from slight deviation of the mandible to severe mandibular micrognathia with restricted mouth opening [1][2][3].…”

“…In bifidism, there is duplication of the head of the mandibular condyle; trifidism is characterized by the presence of two extra heads on the condyle. In both conditions, the condylar morphology may range from grooving to discrete condylar heads [1][2][3][4]. It is impossible to know the exact epidemiology of these conditions because they are often asymptomatic [5].…”

Bifid and trifid condyles are rare disorders of the mandible. Their etiology and pathogenesis are unclear. They can be associated with temporomandibular joint disorders or can be diagnosed incidentally on routine radiographic examination. This article presents a case of trifidism of the right mandibular condylar head of a 31-year-old woman with a history of childhood trauma to the head and neck. The patient was asymptomatic. The abnormal formation of the condyle was diagnosed incidentally on a panoramic radiograph and was evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography.

“…Although the most common possible aetiology has been considered as trauma, comparative studies showed that the majority of patients had no history of previous trauma or TMJ complaints. 21,31,46 We found only four cases of trifid mandibular condyle in the literature (Artvinli and Kansu, 30 Antoniades et al, 31 Cagirankaya and Hatipoglu, 47 Sezgin and a b Tetrafid mandibular condyle Kayıpmaz 48 ). Three of the four reported cases of trifid mandibular condyle had history of trauma.…”

RESUMEN: El cóndilo mandibular bífido es una condición rara, observada frecuentemente como hallazgo radiográfico, caracterizada por la división de la cabeza de la mandíbula. Su prevalencia varía entre 0,0018% a 0,3%, donde múltiples causas han sido sugeridas en la literatura para justificar su desarrollo, sin embargo no hay concordancia entre los estudios acerca del factor causal principal. El objetivo de este artículo es relatar un caso de cóndilo mandibular bífido observado en una mujer de 21 años de edad, el cual fue revelado por una radiografía panorámica donde se observó hipoplasia del cóndilo mandibular izquierdo, con presencia de una aparente calcificación en la región de la articulación temporomandibular izquierda; otros exámenes convencionales fueron realizados (radiografía postero-anterior, con apoyo frente-nasion en boca abierta, transcraniana y panorámica), sin embargo, apenas en la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico, fue posible obtener el diagnóstico de cóndilo mandibular bífido.
