Abstract
Tooth protection during suspension microlaryngeal surgery is a challenge wh en teeth are damaged or missing. We present an effective, disposable and ch eap tooth guard for microlaryngeal surgical procedures using Turbocast (TM) . The tooth guard transits the laryngoscope's pressure directly to the hard palate leaving the teeth uninvolved and free: of any pressure.
