ABSTRACT
One of the many growth anomalies that affect the mandibular condyle is hemimandibular elongation without any condylar hyperplasia. Condylar growth patterns can be evaluated by serial clinical comparisons, cephalometric tracings and bone scanning with technetium 99m phosphate. However, no ideal method has been found to assess whether condylar overgrowth is “inactive”. Therapy is guided by the patient's age and condylar growth activity. Treatment modalities have ranged from condylectomy to orthopedic maxillary management. A case is presented where one such patient was treated with condylectomy and a long follow-up of seven years showing stable results after surgery.
