“…If noticed in puberty while still growing, condylectomy alone may suffice [27]. If seen later, when compensatory growth has occurred, would need condylectomy and osteotomies often of mandible and maxilla to restore facial symmetry and normal occlusion [28,29]. Treatment usually includes condylectomy during the period of active growth.…”
Condylar hyperplasia of mandible is overdevelopment of condyle, unilaterally or bilaterally, leading to facial asymmetry, mandibular deviation, malocclusion and articular dysfunction. This is a series of five such patients managed at our centre.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
