Self-made tooth guard using Turbocast.
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.
