Trismus is commonly referred to as lockjaw and is usually due to sustained tetanic spasms of the muscles of mastication. Although it was initially described in the setting of tetanus, it is now used to refer to a bilateral restriction in mouth opening from any cause. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of trismus and highlights the role of interprofessional team members in collaborating to provide well-coordinated care and enhance patient outcomes.
