), limitation of range of motion, and use of pain medication on the day of assessment. Following the surgical procedure, the study coordinator obtained a copy of the anesthesia record for extraction of the Mallampati score (potential difficulty of intubation) and the duration of procedure (duration in minutes of time intubated). The intubations of subjects included in this study were performed by a number of anesthesiologists; however, all were of a very high skill level, and all utilized the same standardized performance checklist. There were never more than 2

Figure 2; Mallampati airway classification. An increase in Mallampati class correlates with increased risk for difficulty in airway management. Class I: complete visualization of uvula, tonsillar pillars, and soft palate. Class II: only partial visualization of the uvula. Class III: only soft palate visible. Class IV: only hard palate visible. (Redrawn from Frerk CM: Anaesthesia. 1991;46:1005–1008.)

appliance. Informed consent was obtained from the patients prior to their enrollment, and their approval of data utilization for the statistical analysis was obtained. The efficacy of the oral appliance was evaluated based on the improvement in AHI score. The Mallampati classification (an index of the difficulty of tracheal intubation), the thyro-mental distance, and the sterno-mental distance were examined to determine their possible relationship with the improvement in AHI score. The AHI score decreased after treatment in 34 patients, while it increased in 11

hypertensive, tachycardic event may otherwise occur. Clonidine withdrawal also can lead to a rebound hypertensive crisis. Because as a general rule most medications should not be missed prior to administration of a dental anesthetic, it is important to document this in the record. Once the history has been completed, the dentist must document findings of the following evaluations. Mallampati Airway Classification Loss of an adequate airway leading to hypoxemia, cardiac arrest, and irreversible brain damage is the most common adverse

Demographics such as age, sex, weight, and height were also recorded. Figure . Head position in intubation. The patients were randomly subdivided into 3 groups according to their head position in intubation. Group S: intubated in the “sniffing” position. Group E: intubated in
