Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Anticipated difficulties at laryngoscopy give time to prepare alternative method and proper management.

Several methods to evaluate the anatomical structures has been used during preoperative period for airway assessment.

Evaluation methods are such as the Mallampati classification, mouth opening, thyromental distance and sternocostal distance.

the Upper Lip Bite test, evaluates the possibility of a patient cover the mucosa of the upper lip by the lower incisor.

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical usefulness of the Upper Lip Bite test(ULBT) in Korean compared to Modified Mallampati classification(MMT).
