Mouth opening after release of maxillomandibular fixation in fracture patients.

N A de Amaratunga.   

Abstract

Three hundred eleven patients with mandibular fractures were studied prospectively to ascertain the influence of jaw immobilization on mouth opening. Maxillomandibular fixation caused a significant reduction in mouth opening whereas open reduction did not. Furthermore, there appeared to be a relationship between the duration of immobilization and the degree of reduction of mouth opening such that the shorter the duration of fixation, the less the reduction.
