Introduction
The condition characterized through excessive growth of the mandible on the condyle and neck is called condylar hyperplasia
(CH).It is considered as an uncommon malformation. Although the reason of this condition is not known exactly, some etiological
factors have been suggested.These factors are; endocrinal disorders, trauma and local circulatory disorders. When CH is evaluated
clinically, some symptoms such as facial asymmetry, prognathism, crossbite and open bite appear. While the acceleration of
growth in one of the two developing condyles in adolescence period may cause this condition, another reason is enlargement of
the condyle after stopping of skeletal growth. CH should be differentiated from structures such as osteochondroma and osteoma.
During this distinction, the method such as scintigraphy is used in addition to histopathological and radiographic evaluations.
Materials and Methods
An observational study was used to create this report. Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, International Journal of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Journal of Craniomaxillofacial Surgery publications that were available through to the PubMed
database were included in the study.
Results
CH consists of a comprehensive examination and diagnostic methods for correct treatment. Patients often apply for treatment
because of facial asymmetry and related aesthetic problems. Additional research is needed to compose a more standardized
approach to diagnose CH activity
