Abstract
Introduction: Maximum mouth opening (MMO) is an important finding in the detection of many diseases and conditions.The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of MMO level with age, gender, weight, height, BMI variables in adult individuals.
Materials and methods: A total of 1582 participants, 806 women and 756 men, between the ages of 18-85 were included in the study. MMO, age, gender, weight, height and BMI values of the participants were recorded.
Results: Among the 1582 participants included in the study, the MMO value of men was 44.2 mm, while it was 40.29 mm in women. The MMO value of men was found to be higher than that of women (p < .05). A correlation was observed between MMO and height (p < .05).
Conclusions: In the study, a correlation was observed between MMO and height. The MMO value was found to be higher in men.
