  • Title: Orthodontic treatment of a patient with severe crowding and unilateral fracture of the mandibular condyle.
    Author: Park JH, Tai K, Sato Y.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2016 Jun; 149(6):899-911. PubMed ID: 27242001.
    Abstract:
    A 15-year-old girl who had a unilateral condylar fracture with severe crowding in both arches was treated with 4 premolar extractions followed by orthodontic therapy with a temporary skeletal anchorage device in the maxillary arch. The total active treatment time was 21 months. Her occlusion was significantly improved by orthodontic treatment, and the range of condylar movement was also improved. Posttreatment records after 30 months showed excellent results with a good stable occlusion. The remodeling process of the condyle was confirmed with cone-beam computed tomography images.
