“…No significant difference was observed between genders regarding the measure of excursive mandibular movements, in agreement with previous studies (3,6,8,24). The measures studied seem to follow the same tendency of other physical characteristics that start to differentiate according to gender at puberty since gender differences have been detected in samples of adolescents and adults (2,10,15,19,20).…”

“…The measures obtained in the present study were higher than the means obtained for children aged 1 to 1 and a half years (8) and only the lowest age range presented means close to those of children aged 3 to 5 years (24).…”

“…Compared to the measurements obtained for children of the same age ranges, the present results agreed with some studies (6,8), but in general were inferior to other results (3,11). Characteristics of the children such as weight an height may perhaps explain the differences in results, but only Vanderas(3) considered height, which was positively correlated with the extension of mandibular movements.…”

“…There is a great demand for clinical speech therapy for children aged six to 12 years, but normal data regarding maximum mandibular opening, lateral excursion and protrusion in children are scarce both in the international (3,(8)(9)(10) and in the Brazilian (1,6,11) literature.…”

Background: identification of the mandibular movement range is an important procedure in the evaluation of the stomatognathic system. However, there are few studies in children that focus on normal parameters or abnormalities. Aim: to determine the average range of mandibular movements in Brazilian children aged 6 to 12 years; to verify the difference between genders, in each age group, and between the different age groups: 6-8 years; 8.1-10 years; and 10.1-12 years. Method: participants of the study were 240 healthy children selected among regular students from local schools of São Paulo State. The maximum mandibular opening, lateral excursion and protrusive movements, and deviation of the medium line, if present, were measured using a digital caliper. Student T test, Analysis of variance and Tukey test were considered significant for p < 0.05. Results: the mean values observed in the studied sample were: 44.51mm for maximum mandibular opening; 7.71mm for lateral excursion to the right; 7.92mm for lateral excursion to the left; 7.45mm for protrusive movements. No statistical difference was observed between genders. There was a gradual increase in the range of mandibular movements, with significant differences mainly between the ages of 6-8 years and 10.1-12 years. Conclusion: during childhood the range of mandibular movements increases. Age should be considered in this analysis for a greater precision in the diagnosis.

“…Dois tipos de medida da abertura bucal máxima foram realizados com paquímetro digital 3 , que era higienizado com álcool 70% antes e depois da sua utilização. Solicitava-se ao paciente que realizasse a máxima abertura bucal possível, e em seguida o paquímetro era posicionado de forma que suas extremidades mantivessem contato com as bordas incisais dos incisivos centrais maxilar e mandibular.…”
