What is the Full Form of ICR in Medical?

The Full Form of ICR in Medical term is Idiopathic Condylar Resorption. Condylar resorption is another term for this. The most prevalent disease results in the breakdown of jaw joint bones. When a patient has ICR, their lower jaw appears as though it is contracting or retracting. Consequently, many surgeons perform surgery to correct or completely eradicate the issue of a retracted jaw.

Vital Features of ICR in Medical:

ICR is simply defined as shattering a bone in the temporomandibular joint or the jaw joint. The mandible condyles, the round ends of the lower part of the jaw that connects to the TMJ on either side of the head, are negatively impacted by this bone loss. Your mandibular and lower jaws may also shrink and retract as a result.

• As time goes by, the mandibular condyle worsens, changing both functionally and aesthetically.
• Although the exact etiology is unknown, some things, such as hormonal changes, immunological disorders, or mechanical stress, may induce or exacerbate the illness.
• Arthritis,  systemic lupus, scleroderma erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal fluctuations, jaw joint infection, trauma, jaw surgery, osteoarthritis, & reactive arthritis can all result in idiopathic condylar resorption.
