Proportional condylectomy and orthodontic treatment with aligners in unilateral condylar hyperplasia: an observational study

Background: Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia (UCH) is a pathology characterized by an excessive growth of a mandibular condyle. Nitzan et al. create a classification system based on clinical criteria, dividing condylar hyperplasia into vertical, transverse and combined forms. The Authors present a retrospective study of 14 patients treated with proportional condylectomy, functional arthroplasty (Iannetti et Cascone 1989) and aligners technique.
