Forces acting on the maxillary incisor teeth during laryngoscopy using the Macintosh laryngoscope [PDF]
We determined the forces on the maxillary incisors during routine laryngoscopy in 65 adult patients. The forces were measured by a strain gauge based sensor positioned between the handle and the blade of the laryngoscope. The mean maximal force acting on
