Abstract

Introduction Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a multisystem disease with significant morbidity and mortality, which limits invasive procedures both concerning the disease and drugs. Case Report The patient who applied to our clinic with a history of trauma was a 71-year-old woman. The patient had a non-displaced fracture in the left mandibular condyle at the intracapsular level and clinically vertical loss in the relevant region. A total prosthesis was applied to the patient to increase the vertical dimension in the fracture area. Conclusion In this case, we describe the successful management of unilateral condyle fracture with a conservative method.
