The objective of this study was to compile the currently available evidence regarding the functional and morphologic outcomes of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fracture. We performed searches in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as manually (IOK issues 2008-2019) using the keywords "trauma", "TMJ", "activator", "condylar fracture", "fracture", "mandibular condylar fracture", "occlusal splint" and "functional appliance". Screening and analysis of study eligibility were performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).
