“…However, additional factors like hormonal influences [5], hypervascularity, heredity [6], infection or trauma [7,8] may stimulate this excess growth of condyle. It is invariably unilateral, if bilateral is asymmetric.…”
Condylar hyperplasia of mandible is overdevelopment of condyle, unilaterally or bilaterally, leading to facial asymmetry, mandibular deviation, malocclusion and articular dysfunction. This is a series of five such patients managed at our centre.

“…Patient vary in age and consist of young adolescents and older, non-growing patients. UCH can produce facial asymmetry that is clinically characterized by varying degrees of gross mandibular overgrowth of the affected side, malocclusion with canting of the occlusal plane, unilateral open bite, cross-bite, and deviation of the chin away from the affected side 17 .…”

Condylar hyperplasia is characterized by the growth of mandibular condyle. Its etiology and pathogenesis remain controversial. It often occurs unilaterally and leads to facial asymmetry and malocclusion. In the literature, it was also classified according to anomalies accompanied by the growth of other components of the mandible. Differential diagnosis of condylar hyperplasia usually includes tumors of temporomandibular joint. In this article, we discuss the term "condylar hyperplasia" and its classification considering two patients with condylar growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
