Mandibular Condylar Fractures and Occlusal Management.

Mandibular condyle fractures are among the most common mandibular injuries, and management is a subject of debate. The most common classification systems are highlighted. Algorithm-based clinical decision making may help practitioners in their management. This review focuses on the history and management strategies, including non-surgical, closed treatment, and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). ORIF has been increasing in favor over the past decade owing to reduced complications compared with nonsurgical treatment. The surgical approaches and plating techniques have continued to evolve to minimize complications.
