Main Results:

  • Several theories exist for ICR's cause, including hormonal, avascular necrosis, and dysfunctional remodeling.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical, radiological, and historical patient data.
  • Various treatments are suggested, but none are definitively superior.

Conclusions:

  • Idiopathic condylar resorption requires further investigation to elucidate its pathophysiology.
  • Optimal treatment strategies for ICR are yet to be established.
  • Multidisciplinary research is essential for advancing ICR management.
