Résumé

La plupart des ouvertures de la bouche de cinq cent douze (512) Nigérians adultes âgés de dix-huit (18) à trente cinq (35) ans ont été analysées à partir d'un certain nombre de méthodes de mesure bien codifiées : l'habitude de mâcher, de bailler et bien d'autres facteurs tels que la douleur faciale et l'oedème, comparativement aux résultats des autres chercheurs.

Abstract
Mouth opening among Nigerians

The maximum mouth openings of 512 Nigerian adults aged 18 - 35 years were measured using a pair of special dividers and a graduating scale. Chewing, yawning habits and other factors such as facial pain and swelling were also considered and compared with investigations carried out elsewhere.
