  • Title: [The role of condylectomy in the treatment of mandibular laterognathism in children].
    Author: Lachard J, Le Retraite G, Blanc JL, Cheynet F, Chossegros C, Bataille JF.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1991; 92(4):224-6. PubMed ID: 1896797.
    Abstract:
    In 7 cases of mandibular laterognathia caused by condylar hypertrophy, the authors specify the clinical and teleradiological features in adolescents. They emphasize the inadequacy of lateral teleradiography and of its measurements, and the need for three-dimensional investigation. In adolescents, secondary deformations, either spontaneous or therapeutic, are rare, and the treatment preferred is condylectomy based on the study of casts. The immediate results of this techniques are satisfactory. The long-term consequences on growth and temporomandibular pathology have been studied.
