The different aspects of unilateral condylar hyperplasia have been studied and continue to be controversial; nevertheless, treatment based on condylectomy has been established as part of the working protocol. The aim of this investigation was to identify the bone repair observed in surgically treated condyles after 1 year using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Nine subjects were included i...

AIM To evaluate and compare the correlation between sagittal condylar guidance obtained by protrusive interocclusal records mounted on semi-adjustable articulator with panoramic and Lateral cephalogram radiograph tracings in dentulous population. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred twenty dentulous subjects between age group of 20-40 years, free of signs and symptoms of any temporomandibular di...

Frontal plane kinematics including condylar lift-off and medial to lateral translation were investigated in 10 patients who had total knee arthroplasty with a mobile-bearing rotating platform or a similar implant that had been modified with a posterior stabilizer. The rotating platform had condylar lift-off (average, 2 mm) and medial tibial translation (average, 4.3 mm) in all implants tested. ...

Fourteen temporomandibular joints in seven dry skulls, representing the distribution of horizontal and vertical condylar axis inclinations of a larger population, were imaged with three tomographic projection techniques. Closest anterior and posterior joint spaces were measured on radiographs, and sectioned plaster casts were made from impressions of actual joint space, Individualized horizonta...

Aesthetic and functional restoration of the severely worn dentition represents a significant clinical challenge. One of the most demanding aspects of such cases involves the development of sufficient restorative space, while simultaneously fulfilling aesthetic, occlusal, and functional parameters essential to long-term success. When evaluating and diagnosing a patient with severely worn dentiti...

The bifid condylar process is a rare anomaly. Most of the known cases are radiographic findings, mainly in ortopantomography and nuclear magnetic resonance. The condition is usually asymptomatic, while in some cases are associated with ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint. It is reported that the presence of bifid condylar process is not determined by age and gender, but the findings are am...

case presentation: this case report describes a 30-year-old female patient with left hemimandibular hyperplasia with activity of condylar growth, that was successfully treated with low condylectomy, asymmetric lefort i osteotomy and inferior border ostectomy on the affected side, and associated with a unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy on the contra-lateral side. discussion: the innovati...

Background. Fractures of the condylar process of the mandible, whether isolated or coexisting with other injuries, are often difficult to manage. Treatment outcome in patients with mechanical injuries of the temporomandibular joints and fractures of mandibular condylar process, which is an element of this joint, depends mostly when and how treatment is initiated. The goal of our study was to as...

AIM Mandibular condylar fractures account for 25 to 52 % of all mandibular fractures. Though current literature favors open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) condylar‑base low condylar‑neck fractures, extraoral approaches are usually considered be complicated by the risk facial nerve injury other possible complications. This study was undertaken demonstrate that periangular transmasseteric...
