Idiopathic Condylar Resorption: A Survey and Review of the Literature

Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a relatively uncommon condition. Its diagnosis, etiology and management options are also controversial. Further, it is difficult for one provider to collect a large cohort of ICR patients to develop a statistically significant study of these concerns. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to survey experienced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgeons with ICR cases relative to these concerns, as well as review the management outcomes literature.
