[Study of the remote results of five cases of unilateral condylar hyperplasia in the adult].

Exceptionally bilateral, condylar hyperplasia result in graduated facial asymmetry . The principal treatment is the condylectomy. (Condylar head and a portion of the neck of the condyle are removed.) Sometimes we must complete this condylectomy by mandibular osteotomy or resection of a segment of body of the mandible. The occlusal relationships of the teeth are affected by this process. That's why surgery treatment must be associated with orthodontics and prosthetic preparations. We use in post-operative immediate an intermaxillary fixation and traction by elastics. This allow to have a better congruence between the dental arches, and spare functional troubles.
