Orthognathic Surgery Associated with Condylectomy for Treatment of Mandibular Osteochondroma: Case Report

Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor and although its involvement in facial bones is rare (0.6 %), it shows a strong predilection for developing in the mandibular condyle, causing occlusal changes and facial asymmetry. The aim of this study was to report a clinical case and the treatment of a 43-...

Association between temporomandibular disorder and condylar position in a university population

J. oral res. (Impresa); 10 (3), 2021
Aim: To determine the association between the level of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and the condylar position in a university population. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 41 university students between 18 and 27 years old (21±2.28). The level of TMD was determined usi...

Effect of ovariectomy in bone structure of mandibular condyle

Acta cir. bras; 32 (10), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the bone structure of the mandibular condyle through an animal model, after ovariectomy. Methods: Thirty-six female Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups. The OVX group was submitted to bilateral ovariectomy, the SHAM group underwent the same surgical treatment, but with...

Metrical analysis of disc-condyle relation with different splint treatment positions in patients with TMJ disc displacement

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of bite positions characterizing different splint treatments (anterior repositioning and stabilization splints) on the disc-condyle relation in patients with TMJ disc displacement with reduction (DDwR), using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Material and Meth...

Condylectomy and "surgery first" approach: An expedited treatment for condylar hyperplasia in a patient with facial asymmetry

ABSTRACT Condylar Hyperplasia (CH) is a self-limiting pathology condition that produces severe facial deformity at the expense of mandibular asymmetry. In this case report a 15-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Unilateral Condylar Hiperplasia (UCH) by mean of single-photon emission computed tomo...

Relationship between articular eminence inclination and alterations of the mandibular condyle: a CBCT study

Abstract This study aimed at verifying the correlation among angulation of the articular eminence (AE), shape of the condyle and its degenerative bone diseases (DBDs), according to age and sex, through Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Five hundred and twenty-eight temporomandibular joints (TMJ) were...

Surgical Treatment of Condylar Hyperplasia Associated with Dentofacial Deformity: Low Condylectomy, Articular Disc Repositioning, and Orthognathic Surgery

Due to the complexity of the treatment of condylar hyperplasia associated with dentofacial deformities and its complications, if left untreated, the surgeon should be alert to these factors at the time of surgical planning to tailor the optimal therapy for an individual patient.

Tomographic evaluation of the temporomandibular joint in malocclusion subjects: condylar morphology and position

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate condyle concentricity and morphology, and their association with Class I and II malocclusions (Angle). The sample consisted of 49 individuals of both genders, between 11 and 35 years old, divided into two groups, G1: 26 patients with Class I malocclusion,...

Analysis of the condyle, articular fossa and mandibular ramus in subjects with active condylar hyperplasia

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
Facial asymmetry is relatively common, but it becomes a disease when condylar hyperplasia is involved. The purpose of this investigation was to describe and compare the morphological characteristics of hyperplastic condyles to their non-hyperplastic contralateral side. Fifteen subjects aged between 14 an...
