Mandibular Range Movement in Pediatric Patients
Assessing the normal range of manibular movement becomes an indispensable tool for the clinical evaluation of the function of the masticatory system. The aim of this study was to measure the range of mandibular movement in mouth opening, protrusion, and lateral movements in pediatric subjects from t...

The aim of this study was to measure the range of mandibular movement in mouth opening, protrusion, and lateral movements in pediatric subjects from the city of Temuco, Chile and to determine their association with age, sex, and height. A cross-sectional study was performed in children aged 6-13, treated in the Teaching-Unit-Dental-Clinic at the Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco-Chile. 54 subjects participated in the study (44.4 % females); girls exhibited an average mouth opening of 51.9 mm and males of 54.8 mm.

Assessing the normal range of manibular movement becomes an indispensable tool for the clinical evaluation of the function of the masticatory system.

A cross-sectional study was performed in children aged 6-13, treated in the Teaching-Unit-Dental-Clinic at the Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco-Chile. 54 subjects participated in the study (44.4 % females); girls exhibited an average mouth opening of 51.9 mm and males of 54.8 mm.
