Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the facial measurements for determining the proper sizes of oropharyngeal airway. Investigators hypothesized that the length between incisors and mandible angle is more appropriate to estimate the size of oropharyngeal airway compared with the length between mouth corner and mandible angle.
