Protecting teeth during microlaryngeal surgery is difficult, especially with damaged or missing teeth. This study introduces a cost-effective, disposable Turbocast tooth guard that redirects laryngoscope pressure to the palate, ensuring dental safety.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Devices
  • Dental Protection

Background:

  • Microlaryngeal surgery requires specialized instruments for airway access.
  • Protecting patient dentition during laryngoscopy is a critical safety concern.
  • Existing methods for tooth protection may be inadequate for compromised dentition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an innovative, cost-effective tooth guard for microlaryngeal surgery.
  • To describe a disposable device for safeguarding teeth during laryngoscopy.
  • To offer a solution for tooth protection in patients with damaged or missing teeth.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a disposable tooth guard using Turbocast material.
  • Testing the device's ability to withstand surgical pressures.

  • Evaluating the transfer of force from the laryngoscope to the palate.

    • Main Results:

    • The Turbocast tooth guard effectively protects teeth from laryngoscope pressure.
    • The device redirects pressure to the hard palate, bypassing the teeth.
    • The tooth guard is disposable, affordable, and simple to use.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel Turbocast tooth guard provides an effective and safe method for dental protection during microlaryngeal surgery.
    • The device addresses the challenge of tooth protection in patients with compromised dentition.
    • It offers a practical and economical solution for surgical teams.
