Orthognathic Management of Facial Asymmetry Due to Inactive Idiopathic Condylar Hyperplasia: Accuracy and Morbidity Reduction Without Condylectomy
This study supports the use of a conservative orthognathic protocol in selected cases of inactive ICH, offering precise, stable, and low-morbidity outcomes without requiring condylectomy. Computer-assisted planning and patient-specific instruments allow for accurate translation of surgical simulations into clinical reality. Further studies with larger samples and multicenter designs are encouraged to validate these findings.
