Excessive bone development of the mandibular condyle characterizes condylar hyperplasia. Clinically, condylar hyperplasia presents facial asymmetry due to continuous elongation of the condylar process, in addition to facial elongation in the lower third and malocclusion. Among the forms of treatment there are condylectomy and orthognathic surgery, which can be associated or separated, according to the clinical situation of the condyle. Therefore, the current study aims to describe the forms of early treatment proposed by the literature, as well as their post-surgical results. This study was followed by an integrative literature review based on the literature found in the Portal de Periódicos CAPES, Bireme, PubMed, SciELO and the Virtual Health Library between 2012 and 2022 without language restrictions. In this perspective, it is concluded that the results of surgical treatment using the high condylectomy technique are satisfactory, since it interfered early on the worsening of condylar hyperdevelopment and reduces the need for orthognathic surgery in the second surgical stage.
