Unilateral Condylar Hyperactivity

Condylectomy or More?
      Unilateral condylar hyperactivity is a condition characterized by progressive unilateral condylar growth leading to enlargement of the condylar head, neck, ramus, and/or corpus of the mandible, resulting in facial asymmetry and/or malocclusion.
