Clinical characterization of mouth opening among Mexican adolescents and young adults

Abstract: Objective: To estimate two mouth opening (MO) assessments in a sample of apparently healthy Mexican adolescents and young adults, in the context of age and sex. Material and Methods: We examined in a cross-sectional study 254 subjects 14 to 24 years old to ascertain the maximum MO (MMO) and the assisted maximum MO (AMMO) using a ruler (ScalaÒ). The measured mouth opening capacities were not adjusted by adding the vertical overlap between arches (overbite). Clinical oral examinations were undertaken by four sta… Show more

“…MMO is a generally accepted measurement used to estimate TMJ mobility and function 7 . MMO is related to factors such as age and gender, and to anthropometric features such as height, race, mandibular size and cranial base 8 . In healthy subjects, MMO ranges from approximately 40‐75 mm, 9 and its values tend to decrease with age and be higher in men 10 .…”

“…A redução de abertura bucal é frequentemente estudada e pode ter como etiologia diversos fatores, dentre eles disfunção temporomandibular, infecção odontogência, trismo, anomalias congênitas e traumas faciais. No entanto, em indivíduos saudáveis, a capacidade de abertura bucal máxima relacionada com suas variáveis é pouco pesquisada pelo mundo (14).…”

“…A grande maioria dos estudos que tiveram como objeto de pesquisa a abertura bucal máxima em pacientes dentro do padrão de normalidade, fizeram a associação com uma ou mais variáveis, sendo a idade e o sexo as mais frequentes (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”
