Description
LakshmiKumari and co-authors compare a custom mouth prop with shop-bought props for child dental care. Their 2024 study notes that props keep a cooperative child's mouth open, yet design flaws make choice hard. The custom prop adds built-in light and a tailored opening width.
Ten children aged four to ten who needed filling work tried the custom prop and three market props. Dentists and parents rated each prop on a survey form. The custom prop won on acceptance, thanks to its light, fitted opening, and child-friendly form. Stats checks backed the gap. The authors conclude that custom props can serve as an effective aid for mouth opening in young patients.
