It is clinically characterized by morphological changes in TMJ including reduced ramus height, accelerated mandibular retrusion and reduced growth in juveniles. With a strong predilection towards females (90 %) within an age group of 10 to 40 years, diagnosis and management of ICR is a critical clinical challenge.

Management of ICR depends on condylar activity and surgeon’s ability to preserve the articular disc and mandibular condyle, and could either be surgical or non-surgical.
