Aplasia of the mandibular condyle

Overview of Mandibular Condyle Fracture

The mandibular condyle is a region that plays a key role in the opening and closing of the mouth, and because fracture causes functional and aesthetic problems such as facial asymmetry, it is very important to perform accurate reduction. Traditionally, there has been disagreement on how to manage fracture of the mandibular condyle. This review explores the misunderstanding of mandibular condyle...

Hemangioma of the mandibular condyle and ramus.

lntraosseous hemangiomas are benign tumors occurring most often in the skull and vertebrae. Rarely , these lesions can present in the maxilla and mandible. We found in the literature a case of an intraosseous hemangioma involving the mandibular condyle (1 ). We wish to report the panoramic zonographic, computed tomographic, and pathologic findings of another case involving both the condyle and ...

Confocal imaging of mouse mandibular condyle cartilage

Mice are commonly used to study the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and to model human TMJ disease. However, evaluating TMJ pathology in mice using standard histologic methods is time consuming, labor intensive, and dependent upon investigators' expertise at consistently orienting and sectioning across tiny specimens. We describe a method that uses confocal microscopy to rapidly and reliably asse...

An Unusual Osseous Lesion of Mandibular Condyle

Peripheral osteomas are rare tumors of jaws arising from proliferation of cancellous or compact bone increasing in size by continuous bone formation. These lesions appears as unilateral, pedunculated or seesile mushroom-like masses, well-marginated and varying in diameter from 10 to 40 mm. The first case of peripheral osteoma involving condylar process was reported by Ivy in 1927. Since then on...
