Abstract

Tooth protection during suspension microlaryngeal surgery is a challenge when teeth are damaged or missing. We present an effective, disposable and cheap tooth guard for microlaryngeal surgical procedures using Turbocast™. The tooth guard transits the laryngoscope’s pressure directly to the hard palate leaving the teeth uninvolved and free of any pressure.
