Background: One of the primary methods to assess airway dimension changes is the Modified Mallampati Score (MMS). MMS has been a valuable tool in assessing difficulty of intubation in previous studies as it is a simple, reproducible, and reliable preoperative and preanesthetic assessment of oral volume. MMS is evaluated by asking the patient to open their mouth and protrude their tongue without phonation. A score on a scale of 1-4 is assigned based on identifiable intraoral anatomic structures. MMS scores of 3 and 4 are strongly associated with difficult laryngoscopy and intubation.
