Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR), though a rare event, is associated with severe detrimental sequelae for the patient. To date, the etiology remains unknown, and treatment strategies are highly controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present an analysis of the consensus- and evidence-based approach to ICR by a German interdisciplinary guideline project of the AWMF (Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany).

- - The study addresses the inconsistency in terminology, diagnostics, and treatment for condylar dislocation worldwide, aiming to create standardized recommendations endorsed by the European Society of TMJ Surgeons (ESTMJS).
- - Using a modified Delphi procedure, ESTMJS members voted on and discussed 30 draft recommendations in 2019, resulting in significant changes and a strong consensus on terminology, diagnostics, and treatment despite initial disparities with German guidelines.
- - Ultimately, the ESTMJS produced 24 final recommendations for assessing and managing TMJ dislocation, marking the first evidence and consensus-based international guidelines in TMJ surgery, which are suggested to inform clinical practice.
