Idiopathic Condylar ResorptionDo we need condyles?
Idiopathic Condylar Resorption (ICR)• Condylar resorption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with no identifiable cause.
• Can be unilateral or bilateral, and may be associated with anterior open bite.
• Commonly affects young, adolescent females.
• Occurs in the absence of pathology, injury or systemic diseases.
• Often self-limiting, however can re-activate later in life.
• Treatment often involves a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery +/- TMJ
surgery.
Clinical features of ICR
• Class 2 skeletal changes:
• Retrognathic mandible
• Anterior open bite
• Increased overjet
• High mandibular plane angles
• May experience discomfort and/or functional limitations during the active phase of
resorption, or be completely asymptomatic.
Management of ICR is controversial
We report an unusual case where the mandibular condyles did not exhibit any functional
limitations in their resorbed condition and TMJ prosthetic replacement was not required for
rehabilitation of occlusion, aesthetics and function.

Case Report – Patient SJPatient SJ sought orthodontic treatment between 2007-
2009 for moderate upper and lower arch crowding.
Re-presented in 2016 (Age 21) concerned with:
• “Disappearing chin”
• Rapid change in facial profile over the past 6 months
• Pain free, no limitations in function.
Patient SJ is currently asymptomatic with no functional limitations and an initial favourable
aesthetic outcome following treatment.
Interdisciplinary treatment planning and management
with the Orthodontic and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
teams at Monash Health was performed following the
diagnosis of ICR.
Combined treatment of fixed orthodontics and
orthognathic surgery was completed following ICR
stabilization.

Orthodontic Assessment
2017Age: 22
ICR Stabilized
2019Age: 24
Review following treatment
Patient SJ – 2017 following ICR stabilization:
• Skeletal pattern: Class II
• Severe retrognathic
• Convex mesio-facial pattern
• Negligible further growth expected
• Soft tissue pattern:
• Competent lips, deep labiomental
fold
• Vertical maxillary excess
• Dental pattern:
• Incisors: Class II div 1
• Overjet 12 mm
• Absence of anterior open bite
• Third molars: present
• Temporomandibular function: acceptable and
asymptomatic despite loss of condyles
CT and Nuclear Medicine (NM) Bone Scan - 99m Technetium
Hydroxydiphosphonate tracer (99mTc-MDP)
Along with clinical findings, imaging can aid in the diagnosis of ICR e.g. radiographs,
tomograms, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine (Technetium-99 bone scans).
Technetium-99 bone scans are used to determine whether condylar resorption is active or has
stabilized.
ICR Diagnosis
• NM Bone Scans demonstrated active condylar resorption (Figure 1).
• Loss of condylar height consistent with ICR seen on CT Scan (Figure 2).
• Rheumatology and endocrinology review excluded any inflammatory or systemic conditions.

per patient request.
- Bilateral Class II elastics placed.

At the one year review:
• Patient SJ is asymptomatic and pleased with function and aesthetics.
• The combined orthodontic/orthognathic approach addressed the concerns of the patient.
• Condylar prosthetic replacement was not performed, and the mandibular condyles were
accepted in their resorbed anatomical form and relationship.
• SJ will require ongoing monitoring in case of orthodontic or surgical relapse.
Conclusion
This case report illustrates the adaptive capabilities of the mandible and its associated
musculature, to which complex condylar reconstructive procedures are not always required
in the management of ICR.
