“…In the paediatric and adolescent population, the mandibular mobility increases with somatic growth and age‐related normative values of mandibular mobility are influenced by factors such as age, gender, weight, height and ethnicity . Several publications exist on the topic of mandibular mobility capacity in paediatric and adolescent cohorts ; however, differences in patient sampling (age and number of included individuals) and the methods used for the assessment of mandibular mobility makes inter‐study comparisons difficult. Often, the population‐based values have been reported to provide a frame of reference for comparison of the individual patient to normative values of the population.…”

Assessment of mandibular mobility is an important part of the clinical oro-facial examination of paediatric and adolescent patients. The aims of the present cross-sectional study were to establish age-related normative values for mandibular mobility in a Scandinavian paediatric and adolescent cohort and to assess the validity of universal cut-off values for lower 'normal' mandibular ranges of motion. A total of 1114 Danish individuals between 4-17 years of age were included. Maximal mouth opening capacity and laterotrusion capacity were assessed, in each individual, according to a standardised measurement protocol. The mean maximal mouth opening capacity gradually increased from 38 mm (SD 6·1 mm) at age 4 to 54·5 mm (SD 6·8 mm) at age 17. No inter-gender difference in maximal mouth opening capacity was observed (P > 0·15). The mean maximal laterotrusion capacity gradually increased from 7·4 mm (SD. 1·1 mm) at age four to 10·1 mm (SD 1·9 mm) at age 17. A statistical significant inter-gender difference of 0·8 mm (SD 0·4 mm) was observed in relation to the total laterotrusion capacity; however, the clinical relevance of this significant difference is questionable. Normative values of mandibular function was established in individuals 4-17 years of age. Our findings oppose the use of a single universal cut-off value for 'normal' range of motion in paediatric and adolescent patients. Instead, we recommend to use the age-related normative values of mandibular range of motion as basis for the assessment of the development of oro-facial function.

“…For instance, Khare et al . . found that the typical mouth opening is of 56·7 ± 7·2 for males aged between 21 and 30 years old, and 57·1 ± 6·5 for males aged between 31 and 40 years old.…”

When a dysfunction occurs in any component of the stomatognathic system, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) may originate. The aim of this study was to compare the deviations, displacement and the execution speed of mandibular movements among asymptomatic participants and those with TMD. Convenience sampling was used; forty participants diagnosed by clinical evaluation following the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders were divided into three groups: arthropathy (GART, 10 participants, 40% men), myopathy (GMYO, 10 participants, 30% men), and the control group (CG, 20 asymptomatic participants, 25% men). Participants were asked to perform the movements of free maximal mouth opening and closing, right and left lateral excursions, and protrusion with sliding teeth contacts. The mandibular trajectory was recorded using opto-electronic devices tracking reflective markers placed in front of the 'soft tissue pogonion point'. The movements were analysed on the following axis: x - medial-lateral, y - vertical, z - antero-posterior. Significative differences were found in CGxGART - unassisted maximal mouth opening and closing projection on y-axis (OCY), CGxGMYO - unassisted maximal mouth opening and closing projection on x-axis (OCX), and in the measures Opening lateral deviation on x-axis (OLDX), closing lateral deviation on x-axis (CLDX) and in the measures of speed for both. In regard to GARTxGMYO, a significative difference was found in Protrusion lateral deviation on x-axis (PLDX) 'Conover-Iman Test of Multiple Comparisons Using Rank Sums' using Bonferroni correction (P < 0·05). In conclusion, the total opening movements in individuals with TMD tended to have higher deviation than in those asymptomatic individuals and a reduction in the speed of movements.

“…The mouth opening was limited significantly to 12 mm. [11] The CT revealed areas of destruction within the right mandibular condyle [ Figure 2] and MRI shows diffuse soft tissue thickening with abscess formation [ Figure 3]. The histopathological examination of the abscess cavity wall revealed cells consistent with mycobacterial tuberculosis infection which led to the eventual diagnosis.…”

Tubercular osteomyelitis most commonly affects the spine but can involve any bone including ribs, pelvis, and long bones. Over 15 cases with involvement of the mandible have also been reported, and mostly involve the body of the mandible. Tubercular osteomyelitisof the mandibular condyle and ramus is very rare, and only three cases have been reported so far. Here, we present a 27-year-old otherwise healthy adult male, who presented with a painless swelling of his right jaw associated with severe trismus. The patient did not have any pulmonary or constitutional symptoms, and the chest radiograph showed no evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. MRI of the face showed osteomyelitis affecting the mandibular condyle and the ramus. Ultrasound-guided aspiration of the lesion showed caseating necrosis suggestive of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Following drainage of the abscess cavity, the patient received antitubercular therapy for 6 months which led to complete remission.
