Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Study Results from Department of Surgery Broaden Understanding of Hyperplasia (Morphological Profiling of Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia: Implications for Surgical Decision-making)

Article Description
Objective: Unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) presents challenges with functional and esthetic concerns, including facial and chin asymmetry, prognathism, class III malocclusion, and temporomandibular joint symptoms. This study aims to precisely locate condylar and mandibular asymmetry in patients with UCH, aiding targeted surgical correction and addressing persistent skeletal changes. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from patients with UCH and controls, utilizing high-quality cone beam computed tomography scans with 1 mm or fewer slices. Morphometric points were placed using Planmeca software, measuring linear distances on both affected and unaffected sides. Results: In a cohort of 40 patients (29 UCH, 11 controls), significant differences in condylar head and neck lengths were observed between the affected and unaffected sides in patients with UCH (P = 0.0019). However, ramus length showed no significant variation (P = 0.65). When comparing differences in condylar head and neck length between controls and patients with UCH, a substantial contrast was evident (P = 1.98e-07), while ramus length differences were not significant (P = 1.00). The median condylar head and neck lengths were 20.3 mm for controls, 19.78 mm for the unaffected side in patients with UCH, and 23.48 mm for the affected side. Conclusion: Facial asymmetry in UCH primarily results from differences in condylar head and neck length, not ramus length. This emphasizes the importance of high condylectomy in addition to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to achieve improved symmetry and reduced temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Understanding these regional skeletal changes is critical for effective UCH treatment.
