Progressive condylar resorption (PCR) also known as idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is an uncommon, aggressive, degenerative disease of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) seen mostly in adolescent and young women. This condition leads to loss of condylar bone mass, decrease of mandibular ramal height, steep mandibular and occlusal plane angle, and an anterior open bite.
