PURPOSE: Recommended treatment for @entity1 with @entity705 of the mandibular condyle is to perform complete condylectomy with joint replacement. Low condylectomy with joint preservation has recently been proposed as a treatment option. This study compared the outcomes of these treatment options in @entity1 with @entity705 . @entity1 AND METHODS: @entity1 were divided into 2 groups: @entity1 who underwent complete condylectomy and joint replacement (group A, n  = 13) and @entity1 who underwent low condylectomy and joint preservation (group B, n  = 8). To optimize occlusion, function, and esthetics, maxillary and mandibular orthognathic procedures were performed as necessary to re-establish vertical ramus height. Outcomes were measured clinically and radiographically. RESULTS: The 2 groups showed significant clinical improvement (P < .05), with no @entity5 recurrence. Group A had increased operating room (OR) time and donor-site complications in those who received autogenous joint reconstruction compared with alloplastic joint replacement. Group B had a shorter OR duration with quicker postoperative recovery. Orthognathic procedures were stable in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Complete and low condylectomies are viable options for the surgical management of @entity705 of the mandibular condyle. If @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ) reconstruction is required, @entity1 -fitted @entity1348 replacements provide similar clinical outcomes as autogenous reconstruction, but have the advantages of eliminating donor-site morbidity and decreasing operating time.
