Abstract

Background and Objectives: Excessive growth of mandibular ramus, condyle and body elicits facial asymmetry is named-Mandibular condylar hyperplasia. Its therapeutic management is not a consensus and, due to its complexity, is a challenge for orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons. This study focus at discussing the diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the management of this disease, with explanation of condylectomy procedure.

Case Report: A Male patient of 22 years old, had a complain of facial asymmetry and pain on left temporomandibular joint. Patient had no relevant medical or family history of such deformity and had no history of trauma to  joint or infection.

This was a case of hemimandibular elongation which was treated with condylectomy.

Conclusion: Condylectomy is an effective procedure approach, for reducing the excess bony mass and also has no such complications of joint functioning post operatively. This prevents progress of dento-facial deformity and minimize its psycological impact.

Keywords: Temporomandibular joint disorders, Facial asymmetry, Hyperplasia, Mandibular condyle.
