Abstract
Although the bifid or trifid mandibular condyle is a rare entity, the tetrafid mandibular condyle is a more rare entity. This article presents the first case of tetrafid and trifid mandibular condyle of a 31-year-old patient with a history of previous trauma. The patient had with symptoms such as crepitus of the right temporomandibular joint and pain upon palpation in the preauricular region and masseter muscle. This rare entity was diagnosed on a panoramic radiograph and confirmed using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. As there were symptoms, a hard stabilization appliance was applied to the patient.
