ABSTRACT

Introduction: Condylar hypoplasia is the underdevelopment or defective formation of the condyle; it can be genetic or acquired. This hypoplasia plays a major role in the facial asymmetry in a growing child; there will be facial asymmetry with chin deviation and malocclusion. An adequate diagnosis and correct orthopedic treatment of anomalies of Pruzansky grade I will allow having a better prognosis and satisfactory results. Case report: We treated a seven-year-old girl with the following characteristics: skeletal class I, mesofacial face type, straight profile, laterognathia caused by right condylar hypoplasia, mixed dentition, mandibular midline deviation, bilateral molar and canine classes not assessable, and complete crossbite. Results: Growth of the affected condyle was achieved, thus improving the anatomy and function of the temporomandibular joint and dentomaxillary relationships, and decreasing facial asymmetry after three years of treatment. Conclusions: Dentofacial orthopedic treatment can minimize any type of anomaly in early stages, especially in the case of mild dentofacial orthopedic problems. The results here presented show that functional orthopedic treatment is one of the best therapeutic options.
