UCH is characterized by excessive growth of the condylar head and neck, leading to an increase in size and volume. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the bone in patients with UCH using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), histology, and Raman microspectroscopy. The mandibular condyles of six patients with UCH were analysed using micro-CT, histology, and Raman microspectrometry and imaging, and the results were compared with those obtained for a normal control subject.
