Abstract:

Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a progressive disease that affects the temporomandibular joint area with a change in condylar shape and/or mass. Several theories to the development of this type of deformity exists which ultimately leads to condylar shrinkage and/or chronically dislocated non-reducing disc displacement. Predisposing factors such as sex, age, and malocclusion have all been linked to the occurrence of ICR. To properly diagnose a case, certain key elements must be present. Cases with ICR will be presented, with an emphasis on their treatment from both an Orthodontic and surgical perspective.
