Osteoma of the condyle as the cause of limited-mouth opening: a case report

Osteoma is a benign tumour consisting of mature bone tissue. It is an uncommon lesion that occurs mainly in the bones of the craniofacial complex. Only a few cases involving the condylar process have been reported. An osteoma of the left condyle causing limited mouth-opening in a 32-year-old Malaysian Chinese female is reported here to alert the practitioner to consider this lesion as a diagnostic possibility in instances of trismus or limited-mouth opening.

INTRODUCTION: Proper imaging allows practitioners to evaluate an asymptomatic tempormandibular joint (TMJ) for potential degenerative changes prior to surgical and orthodontic treatment. The recently developed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows measurement of TMJ bony structures with high accuracy. A study was undertaken to determine the morphology, and its variations, of the mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa among Malay and Chinese Malaysians.

METHODS: CBCT was used to assess 200 joints in 100 subjects (mean age, 30.5 years). i-CAT CBCT software and The Mimics 16.0 software were employed to measure the volume, metrical size, position of each condyle sample and the thickness of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF).

RESULTS: No significant gender differences were noted in thickness of the RGF and condylar length; however condylar volume, width, height and the joint spaces were significantly greater among males. With regards to comparison of both TMJs, the means of condylar volume, width and length of the right TMJ were significantly higher, while the means of the left condylar height and thickness of RGF were higher. When comparing the condylar measurements and the thickness of RGF between the two ethnic groups, we found no significant difference for all measurements with exception of condylar height, which is higher among Chinese.

CONCLUSION: The similarity in measurements for Malays and Chinese may be due to their common origin. This information can be clinically useful in establishing the diagnostic criteria for condylar volume, metrical size, and position in the Malaysian East Asians population.

Fulltext Analysis of MYO1H single nucleotide polymorphism in class iii malocclusion with mandibular prognathism: a preliminary study

Evidence suggests that several genes; including MYO1H, play an important role in the
etiology of Class III malocclusion. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in marker rs10850110 (locus
12q24.11) within MYO1H gene has been associated with the incidence of mandibular prognathism
(MP). MYO is a class 1 myosin that is responsible for the synthesis of Matrilin-1; an important
protein involved in the formation of cartilage's extracellular matrix, hence is implicated in the
formation of mandibular condyle cartilage. This study aimed to detect the presence of MYO1H
(rs10850110) SNP and to determine its genotype and allele distribution in MP patient in the local
population. (Copied from article).

Maxillofacial trauma of pediatric patients in Malaysia: a retrospective study from 1999 to 2001 in three hospitals

Rahman RA, Ramli R, Rahman NA, Hussaini HM, Idrus SM, Hamid AL

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol, 2007 Jun;71(6):929-36.

PMID: 17442408

Maxillofacial trauma in children is not common worldwide. Domestic injuries are frequently seen in younger children while older children are mostly involved in motor vehicle accidents (MVA). The objective of this study was to analyze the pattern of maxillofacial injuries in pediatric patients referred to three government main hospitals in different areas of West Malaysia.
