Condylectomy alone effectively treated active unilateral condylar hyperplasia in both adult and juvenile cases. This surgical approach successfully restored facial symmetry and dental occlusion, confirming treatment efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) is a condition causing facial asymmetry.
  • Active UCH requires timely intervention to prevent progressive deformity.
  • Hemimandibular hypertrophy is a specific subtype of UCH.

Observation:

  • Two cases of active UCH, one adult and one juvenile, were treated.
  • Both cases exhibited clinical and radiographic features of hemimandibular hypertrophy.
  • 99Tc bone scintigraphy confirmed active disease in both patients.

Findings:

  • Condylectomy alone was performed as the sole treatment modality.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the activity of articular cartilage layers.

  • Satisfactory facial symmetry and dental occlusion were achieved post-treatment.

    • Implications:

    • Condylectomy is a viable surgical option for active UCH, specifically hemimandibular hypertrophy.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to favorable outcomes in UCH.
    • This approach offers a solution for achieving functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
