Design and development of a mouth spacer for Dental surgery applications / Nurnida Elmira Othman

Most of patients have difficulty to hold his/her mouth open for a period of time during dental procedures due to jaw and muscle fatigue. Therefore, mouth spacer were used to help keep the mouth open wide enough for the dentist to perform the required procedures. However, the commonly used mouth spac...
