Abstract
Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a condition that is often esthetically and functionally altering, characterized by progressive resorption of the TMJ condylar heads, without a known cause. Studies suggest that patients with ICR remain undiagnosed and unrecognized in the orthodontic clinic owing to the poorly understood etiology of the disease and lack of diagnostic tools. ICR often causes occlusal and skeletal changes, TMJ dysfunction and pain, and maxillofacial deformities. Therefore, precise diagnosis of the disease and proper treatment plan is essential.
