“…Hirsch et al (2006) [ 34 ], when assessing the range of mandibular movement in over 1000 German children aged 10–17 years, noted the average value of lateral movement to the right as 10.2 ± 2.2 mm, to the left as 10.6 ± 2.3 mm, and protrusive movement as 8.2 ± 2.5 mm. Steinmassl et al (2017) [ 35 ], assessing the same parameters in 146 Austrian children aged 8–10 years, noted 10.0 ± 1.8, 10.1 ± 1.9, and 9.1 ± 2.0 mm, respectively. In our studies, the range of these movements was smaller in JIA patients compared to those of the studies mentioned above.…”

“…It should be emphasized, however, dentofacial deformity and TMJ dysfunction, which are consequences of condylar growth disturbances rather than arthritis-induced condylar damage alone, do not only depend on the course of TMJ arthritis and damage to the growth center, but are also related to a complex of multiple factors impairing craniofacial development [ 6 , 37 ]. These factors include degenerations and deformations, mechanical overloads, dysfunctions and parafunction of the masticatory organ, as well as factors compensating for the abnormal development of the dentofacial complex [ 6 , 35 , 37 ] that TMJ arthritis directly affects through damage to the growth center and inhibition of mandibular growth, including inhibition and hypoplasia of the condylar process. This, in turn, induces TMJ deformation and dysfunction, leading to increased friction in the joint, mechanical stress, and excessive load on joint surfaces.…”

This study aimed to assess the asymmetry of the lower face and motor dysfunction of the masticatory system resulting from unilateral or asymmetrical bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. The study consisted of clinical examination and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of TMJs. Statistical analysis showed correlations between several factors: facial asymmetry and mandibular lateral deviation; the direction of mandibular deviation and the degree of radiological deformities in TMJs; the child’s age at the time of the onset and the range of lateral movement towards the healthy or less destructed joint. In addition, there was a significant difference in ranges of lateral movements; a significantly smaller range was observed for the joint with fewer condylar abnormalities compared to the range in the opposite direction. In JIA children, among the clinical markers of unilateral or asymmetrical TMJ involvement, the asymmetry of the lower face, deviation of the mandible on opening, and an uneven range of mandibular lateral movements deserve attention. The obtained results do not show a relationship between the degree of condylar changes and the asymmetry of the lower face and the presence and degree of mandibular motor dysfunction.

Summary Background Cross-sectional studies of mandibular movements provide data on developmental trends of dentition and support planning of public health services. Objective The aim of this study was to measure mandibular movement capacities in children with deciduous and mixed dentition and in young adults with permanent dentition. The influence of age and gender on mandibular movements and the association between mandibular movements and occlusal traits were analysed. Method The sample consisted of 1172 Estonians: group 1: children with deciduous dentition; group 2: children with mixed dentition; and group 3: young adults with permanent dentition. Maximum opening, mandibular laterotrusion, and protrusion were registered. Results Age was correlated with mandibular movements. Young adults had statistically significantly larger mandibular movements as compared to children with deciduous and mixed dentition, and children with mixed dentition had larger mandibular movements as compared to children with deciduous dentition. Young adult males had larger mandibular movements than females of the same age. Associations were found between mandibular movement capacities and some occlusal traits. Mandibular movement capacities were smaller in children with crossbite and open bite as compared with children without corresponding occlusal traits. Mandibular movement capacities were larger in children with deep bite and increased overjet as compared with those without corresponding occlusal traits. Conclusion Mandibular movement capacities are age and gender dependent. Maximum mouth opening, mandibular laterotrusion, and protrusion are related, and mandibular movement and some occlusal traits are associated.

Aim: Maximum mouth opening (MMO) is an important parameter in the assessment of several clinical situations, and its measured value is documented to have gender, age, and anthropometric variation. Background: This study measures the average value of MMO in a sample of the Jordanian population. MMO might be different for different regions of the world and is important for all dental disciplines. We attempt to find correlations between MMO and body characteristics such as gender, age, body weight, and height. Materials and Methods: A total of 565 Jordanian patients (191 males and 374 females; aged 3–70 years) were randomly selected for this cross-sectional study. Mouth opening was measured using a calibrated ruler between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors (interincisal length), and weight and height were measured using a medical scale. In addition, age and gender were recorded. Patients were informed of the study and agreed to participate. Statistical differences of MMO between male and female patients in each age group were assessed using the t-test, the correlation between the MMO and body weight and height was assessed using a Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression using the SPSS program. Results and Conclusions: The mean MMO across the sample was 45 ± 4.78 mm with a range of 36–61 mm. The mean MMO in males was 45.7 ± 5.2 mm, varied from females, which was 44.65 ± 4.4 mm in all age groups with the level of significance of (P = 0.013). No significant relation was found between age and MMO with a P of (>0.05), but a significant correlation was found between MMO and body weight and height with a P of (<0.01).
