Management of Trismus Using a Mouth Gag with Expansion Screw and a Posterior Bite Plane: A Case Report

Shiro Kubo*

This report describes the conservative management of trismus caused by osteoarthritis of the Temporo Mandibular Joint (TMJ). Trismus was treated using a mouth gag with an expansion screw and a posterior bite plane for the lateral movement of the mandible. These two appliances were effective in increasing mouth opening and relieving TMJ pain. These appliances cause less damage to the teeth and TMJ than do other mouth gags.
