ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Missing and loose central incisors pose a great difficulty to anaesthesiologists during laryngoscopy and intubation. Left head rotation is a novel technique which facilitates intubation by improving the laryngoscopic view. We report the use of this technique in two patients with missing or loose central incisors to prevent dental trauma.
