  • Title: Preoperative and postoperative examination of occlusal and maxillofacial changes after osteochondroma extirpation.
    Author: Iwata T, Kawata T.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2016 Feb; 149(2):259-68. PubMed ID: 26827983.
    Abstract:
    A patient came with left-side temporomandibular arthralgia, limited mandibular opening, frontal facial asymmetry, and a significant anterolateral open bite. Severe alterations in the occlusal and maxillofacial anatomy resulted from an osteochondroma associated with the mandibular condyle. We describe the changes associated with extirpation of the mandibular condylar osteochondroma and subsequent orthodontic treatment. These clinical changes resulted in improved facial symmetry and a satisfactory functional occlusion.
