ABSTRACT:
The device of the present invention is a bite block for use with endotracheally intubated patients. The bite block is generally U-shaped and made of a hard but pliable material. The termini of each of the legs of the "U" are wedge shaped, being thinner at the terminus of each leg. A curved rib connects the two legs. The combination of the wedge-shaped legs and the curved rib allow the interjaw compressive forces to be borne by the molars rather than the incisors or front teeth.
