ABSTRACT

Background: Over the years, the treatment to be chosen for the resolution of condylar fractures has been discussed with great concern. Treatment depends on the type and location of the fracture, as well as other associated factors such as facial injuries and concurrent diseases. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to make a review of the different criteria to establish a diagnosis and treatment to resolve mandibular condyle fractures, according to the evolution of the years and what this entails. Discussion: Management of condylar fractures remains controversial among surgeons. However, as time goes by and as comparative and analytical studies are carried out within the issue, parameters and criteria are established to facilitate the decisions taken regarding the management and treatment of condylar fractures. Conclusion: Condylar fractures must be managed according to the clinical and case presentation.
