Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) represents an uncommon anatomical variation where the mandibular condyle splits into two distinct heads. Such morphological differences have been associated, albeit ...

Background During the last 2 decades, many studies on the treatment of mandibular condyle fracture have been published. The incidence of mandibular condyle fractures is variable, ranging from 17.5% to ...

PLAGL1-IGF2 signaling maintains metabolic balance and osteoblast differentiation in mandibular condyle, while PLAGL1 deficiency impairs bone formation. The mandibular condyle is a central growth site ...

The mandibular condyle is necessary for proper growth of the jaw and is highly vulnerable to deformity because it is a site of compensatory growth. Specifically, the condyle responds to the functional ...
