Trismus is a condition and is not a disease itself and may impair eating, impede oral hygiene, restrict access for important dental procedures and adversely affect speech and facial appearance.
We report a case of 12-year old child who had trauma and underwent a maxillofacial surgical procedure and developed trismus. He was treated conservatively with physiotherapy and had effective relief within half month of treatment.
Key words: Trismus physiotherapy, mouth.
