LUCKNOW: Patients suffering from sleep apnea will get better treatment at King George's Medical University(KGMU) as the prosthodontics department has got a patent for a device it made for accurately measuring the gap between upper and lower jaw.
"Till now gap measurement is taken manually by vernier callipers from outside of the mouth so accuracy was compromised but now with this device gap is assessed by inserting it into the mouth," said Prof Pooranchand, head prosthodontics KGMU, who invented the device.
