Final answer:

Intraoral pressure is the pressure that can be measured within the mouth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure that can be measured within the mouth is called Intraoral pressure. Intraoral pressure refers to the pressure within the oral cavity or buccal cavity. It can be influenced by factors such as the force exerted by the tongue and cheeks during chewing and swallowing, as well as the respiratory muscles during breathing.
