Trismus
(Limited mandibular movement)
Etiology Of Trismus
 1) Acute Factors
I- Local trauma; as inferior alveolar nerve block leading to muscle inflammation
Trauma due accident or post surgical effect
II-Infection ptergo-mand& later. Pharyng. spaces, pericoronitis following oral
surgery
III- Psychological
IV- drug toxicity (e.g Halothane )
2) Chronic Factors
I- TMJ dysfunction : poor joint architecture or malposition of the disc and
muscle splinting restrict motion )
II-Rheumatoid arthritis
III- Pathological process the condyle as ; osteoma.zygoma., cysts. coronoid or
condyle over growth
IV- ankylosis : extra or intracapsular
V- sclerodrma
VI- systemic diseases e,g Epilepsy or Brain tumor
3) Treatment Related Factors
I- Radiation therapy
II- Surgical treatment
III- orthognathic surgery.
Evaluation of Trismus
 1- case history
 2- oral mechanism emanations
 3- clinical evaluation of swallowing and pain results
Treatment of Trismus
 1- medical
 2- surgical
 3- physical
Medical treatment
• Antibiotics : if the infection is the cause , it is the treatment of choice
• Anti- inflammatory : Arthritis inflammation of the joint can be treated with anti-
inflammatory agents which relief pain and result in some improvement in motion
• Muscle relaxants : may help in acute cases of limited mandibular movement
Surgical treatment
 Surgery is the treatment of choice for removal of tumors , cysts or foreign
bodies
 Surgery may also be indicated in TMJ ankylosis and sceloderma after more
conservative therapy has failed
Physical treatment
 Several methods to increase inter arch space and counteract trismus including
 1- exercise
 2- Mechanical devices
 3- Hot application
1- exercise
 Indication :
Helpful during
A-Radiation therapy
B-Scleroderma patients
 Techniques
 Opening and closing 20 times for 3 to 4 times daily
 8-10 lateral movements
 Chewing gum ???? No therapeutic effect ??? Why
Trismus devices
 Indications :
 1- adhesion and ankylosis
 2- arthritis
 3- disuse atrophy
 4- facial Muscle Disorders
 5- radiation therapy
 6- joint replacement
 7- trismus
 8- trauma and condylar fracture
Types of mechanical devices
 I- Simple devices
 II- dynamic bite opener
Simple devices
 1- wooden clothespin : inserted between the arches while the patient applies
gradual pressure
Simple device
 Tapered threaded acrylic screw placed and turned between teeth
 Applied several time daily
Simple device
Tongue depressors (blade)
Lubricated with petroleum jelly and
placed between the arches for 1 minute to increase opening
Additional depressors can be added
one at time
Dynamic bite opener
 I- old devices
A- dynamic opening device : consist of a steel frame
work attached to maxillary and mandibular stents
Dynamic bite opener (old device)
 B- inflatable bite opener
Consist of maxillary and mandibular stents with
An inflatable pediatric blood pressure with
rubber bulb and tubing
Dynamic bite opener (old device)
 C- intra-oral prosthesis with inter-arch spring
 Used with both dentulous and edentulous patients
Dynamic bite opener (recent device)
 Springs
 Device work with pump action
 Mechanical stretch device
 Most recent is computer controlled continuous passive motion device
Computer controlled continuous passive motion
device (CPM)
Facial flex (spring)
Flex jaw exerciser
