Condylar hyperplasia is a rare non-neoplastic pathology associated with overgrowth of the mandibular condyle. Presentation of condylar hyperplasia with bifid mandibular condyle has never been reported in literature. Early management of the hyperplastic disorders of the mandibular condyle can prevent occlusal canting and developing asymmetric deformities. We report a case of 'Bifid Hyperplastic Mandibular Condyle' in a 14-year-old male with emphasis on early surgical intervention. To best of our knowledge, the present case is the first reported case of bifid mandibular condyle with condylar hyperplasia and 66th reported case of bifid mandibular condyle in living human population.

“…CH occurs with equal frequency in males and females, as well as unilaterally and bilaterally 14 . These patients usually demonstrate a Class I or mild Class III skeletal and occlusal relationship before the onset of CH and develop into a Class III or severe Class III relationship as their growth accelerates 14 .…”

“…The excessive unilateral growth of the mandibular condyle can lead to facial asymmetry, occlusal disturbance, and joint dysfunction 13 . It represents a challenge to both surgeons and orthodontists and because of the severe dentofacial deformity it can create 14 . A complete understanding of the nature of the deformity, etiology, clinical presentation, options for treatment, and timing of treatment is required in order to achieve optimal treatment outcomes 14 .…”

“…CH usually develops during puberty and rarely begins after the age of 20 14 . The identification of sex hormone receptors in and around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the pubertal www.intechopen.com onset of CH strongly suggest a hormonal influence in the etiology 14 . Suggested theories include trauma followed by excessive proliferation in repair, infection, hormonal influences, arthrosis, hypervascularity, and a possible ge-netic role 16 .…”
