Condylar hyperplasia is defined and its aetiology and prevalence are briefly reviewed. A case is presented to illustrate how the progressive nature of the condition can create problems for the clinician, particularly during orthodontic treatment of a child or adolescent patient. The benefits of interceptive surgery are illustrated, although such an approach does not necessarily mean that further surgery is avoided at the completion of growth.
髁突增生的定义已明确，对其病因和患病率进行了简要综述。本文介绍了一个病例，以说明这种疾病的进展性如何给临床医生带来问题，尤其是在对儿童或青少年患者进行正畸治疗期间。文中阐述了早期手术的益处，尽管这种方法并不一定意味着在生长发育完成后可避免进一步手术。
