【 摘 要 】

Growth disturbances in the mandibular condyle region include aplasia, hypoplasia, and hyperplasia. Non-syndromic aplasia of the mandibular condyle is very rare, and may be due to congenital or acquired causes. The mandibular condyle is regarded as the center of mandibular growth. Therefore, regional disturbances during the growth phase may negatively impact mandibular growth. We present a case of unilateral condylar aplasia associated with severe hypoplasia of the posterior body and ascending ramus of the mandible.
