摘要
This article describes the 'adaptable condylectomy' and highlights two innovative treatment protocols for the variety of acquired facial asymmetry and associated malocclusion caused by condylar hyperplasia, as illustrated by the cases of seven patients presenting different manifestations of condylar hyperplasia. Protocol I (three cases) is applied for condylar hyperplasia with a normal occlusion and involves a high condylectomy, with the goal of guiding the mandible back to the original occlusion. Protocol II (four cases) is applied for condylar hyperplasia with diverse acquired malocclusions and involves condylectomy at a level adapted to the malocclusion, allowing the mandible to be guided back to the occlusion that pre-existed the active change caused by the condylar hyperplasia, or to a position as close to the midline as possible. Both protocols are followed by gradual self-correction of the acquired facial asymmetry. These protocols often obviate the need for further surgical intervention and, if further correction is needed, it is much simpler.
