"Maximum mouth opening (MMO) can reflect the function of the dentofacial musculature and joint system, and routine oral examinations should include its assessment. To diagnose abnormalities using MMO measurements, it is necessary to establish the normal range of MMO; however, few studies have investigated this subject in Taiwan. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to determine the normal MMO range in 3- to 5-year-old preschool children and to investigate the factors correlated with MMO. We examined the interincisal distance, defined as the distance between the edges of the upper and lower incisors, in 518 preschool children (age range 3–5 years; 271 boys and 247 girls) with a plastic sliding caliper. The MMO on both sides of the mouth and mouth width (MW) was measured 3 times. No differences in MMO were found between the genders. The interincisal distance was 37.47 (±4.11) mm for boys and 36.93 (±3.85) mm for girls, whereas the mean MMO was 37.21 (±3.99) mm. The MMO increased with the increasing age of the children, and the mean value of MMO in children aged 3, 4, and 5 was 35.31 (±4.03), 36.61 (±3.79), and 38.31 (±3.88) mm, respectively. Furthermore, MMO was found to correlate with weight and MW. MMO increased by 0.19 mm per increased weight and 0.37 mm per increased MW. The mean value of MMO in 3- to 5-year-old preschool children was 37.21 (±3.99) mm. MMO in 3- to 5-year-old preschool children increased with age and was correlated with weight and MW."

"Pada usia 3 tahun pertama kehidupan terjadi perkembangan yang sangat pesat baik pada ukuran fisik maupun fungsional otak. Faktor neuroplastisitas yang berlangsung pesat pada anak berusia <3 tahun mempengaruhi perubahan (evolusi) dalam perjalanan klinis epilepsi. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan evaluasi hubungan faktor risiko yang didapatkan saat awal pengobatan serta faktor perubahan (evolusi) yang terjadi selama pasien mendapat terapi dengan terjadinya drug resistant epilepsy. Penelitian menggunakan metode kohort retrospektif pada subjek anak yang didiagnosis epilepsi saat berusia <3 tahun. Dari 150 subjek penelitian, didapatkan 33 subjek (22%) mengalami drug resistant epilepsy. Faktor risiko awal yang berhubungan bermakna dengan terjadinya drug resistant epilepsy adalah hasil EEG yang abnormal (p=0,001; aOR 4,48; IK 95% 1,82-11,03). Faktor perubahan (evolusi) selama terapi yang berhubungan bermakna dengan terjadinya drug resistant epilepsy adalah evolusi frekuensi kejang yang buruk (p=0,048; aOR 7,1; IK 95% 1,01-49,7) dan respon awal terapi yang buruk (p= 0,01; aOR 10,92; IK 95% 2,6-45,87).

The brain is highly developed in first 3 year of life. The high neuroplasticity process during that period can influence clinical course of epilepsy. This study was aimed to evaluate initial risk factors and evolution risk factors during therapy to predict drug resistant epilepsy in children <3 year old. We used retrospective cohort method based on medical record data. There were 150 subjects, 33 of them (22%) met drug resistant epilepsy criteria. Abnormal EEG result was the only initial risk factor that significantly related with drug resistant epilepsy in children <3 year old (p=0,001; aOR 4,48; CI 95% 1,82-11,03). We found bad evolution in seizure frequency (p=0,048; aOR 7,1; CI 95% 1,01-49,7) and bad initial response to therapy (p= 0,01; aOR 10,92; CI 95% 2,6-45,87) were significantly related with drug resistant epilepsy in children <3 year old."
