title: [Total alloplastic temporomandibular joint reconstruction combined with             orthodontic treatment in a patient with idiopathic condylar resorption].
abstract: This case report describes the successful treatment of an adult patient with skeletal           Class II open-bite malocclusion secondary to idiopathic condylar resorption. Total           alloplastic joint reconstruction and counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular           complex combined with orthodontic treatment provided a satisfying outcome with maximum           functional and esthetic improvement.
