  • Title: Condylar hyperplasia. A case for early treatment.
    Author: Jonck LM.
    Journal: Int J Oral Surg; 1981 Jun; 10(3):154-60. PubMed ID: 6797969.
    Abstract:
    Clinical experience indicates that the condylar growth centre is an important factor in the dimensional changes of the face up to the 10th year. Thereafter muscular and functional occlusion determine the ultimate facial form. condylar hyperplasia should be recognised at a very early age. To achieve an acceptable result early treatment of facial asymmetry related to condylar hyperplasia should be considered in the most active growth phase of the mandible (6-8 years).
