Mouth, Narrow
Definition:
Mouth, Narrow
Objective: Distance between the commissures more than 2 SD below the mean
Subjective: apparently decreased width of the oral aperture
Comments: The width of the mouth varies with facial movement and must be assessed when the subject has a relaxed (neutral) face. This term replaces microstomia, small oral aperture, and small mouth because the reduced opening of the mouth is secondary to reduced width.
Replaces: - Microstomia
- Small Oral Aperture
- Small Mouth
