A healthy individual’s normal mouth opening ranges between 40-50 mm (around the width of four fingers). However, certain conditions can lead to restricted mouth opening, medically called trismus.
One of the most common causes of limited mouth opening in India is Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) — a chronic, progressive, and precancerous oral condition caused mainly by chewing areca nut, gutkha, or betel nut.
At Magadh Oro Dental Clinic, Patna, we specialize in advanced diagnosis and laser-assisted treatment of OSMF, helping patients restore their mouth opening and prevent further complications.
OSMF is a chronic disease characterized by fibrosis (hardening) of the oral mucosa due to excessive collagen deposition. It affects various parts of the oral cavity, including:
If left untreated, OSMF can lead to severe restriction in mouth opening, difficulty swallowing, and an increased risk of oral cancer.
The primary cause is the habit of chewing areca nut (supari), gutkha, and betel nut. Other contributing factors include:
