Application of bilateral condylectomy as an alternative surgical treatment for Class III malocclusion with posterior vertical excess, a technical note
Résumé
The Posterior vertical excess (PVE) associates a symmetric ramus and condyle elongation to an Angle Class III
malocclusion. This dento-skeletal discrepancy can be isolated or associated to a condyle hyperplasia or a
transverse overgrowth of the mandible due to macroglossia. We present the technique and the postoperative
results of bilateral condylectomy applied for the surgical correction of PVE. Bilateral condylectomy represents
an alternative to the bimaxillary surgery and adds to the therapeutic arsenal for the correction of Angle Class
III malocclusion.
