It is commonly described as \u201cjaw stiffness\u201d or \u201clockjaw,\u201d though \u201clockjaw\u201d can mean different things in different settings. Dentists and physicians use the term to document limited jaw opening and its impact on speaking, eating, hygiene, and dental care. trismus is a sign or symptom, not a single disease, and it can have multiple underlying causes."}
