Article Synopsis
- Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is a non-cancerous growth of the jawbone that typically starts during puberty and is more common in women, leading to facial asymmetry and displacement of the jaw.
- The report discusses two female patients, aged 23 and 25, who underwent high condylectomy and orthognathic surgery, resulting in positive cosmetic outcomes and improved jaw function without pain.
- CT scans showed beneficial bone remodeling in the treated condyles, suggesting that the jawbone retains the ability to adapt, even in adults undergoing treatment for this condition.
