Two Cases of Idiopathic Condylar Resorption Due to Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis Remodeled by Different Treatment Modalities.
Curēus 2023 November
Condylar resorption is a condition of progressive and significant mandibular head resorption. We treated two patients with condylar resorption caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis. The first patient was a 22-year-old female at the time of the initial examination. She had a history of orthodontic treatment and came to the clinic with a number of symptoms, including difficulty opening the mouth. Idiopathic condylar resorption was diagnosed, an occlusal splint was placed for approximately one year, and the patient was followed up for 12 years. The second patient was a 20-year-old female who had completed non-extraction orthodontic treatment by the age of 17 years. She came to the clinic with esthetic issues, such as an anterior open bite. Implant anchor screws were placed in the alveolar bone of the anterior teeth and intermaxillary fixation was performed. Case 1 had 12 years of follow-up, with CT scan results showing remodeling of the condylar. Case 2 is expected to shorten treatment time. However, the CT scan showed remodeling and improvement in the chief complaint.
