AbstractDental injury is one of the most anaesthesia-related complications. It can cause a patient's functional, esthetic, financial, and emotional annoyance. The incidence of dental injury is said to range from 1:6000 to 1:1000. The upper incisors are by far the most often injured teeth. Removable dentures should be taken out prior to anaesthesia. A tooth guard can be used as a prophylactic measure. However, with that tracheal intubation can be complicated because of the reduced view at the epiglottis and the vocal cords. If a dental injury occurred, the patient should be seen by a dentist as soon as possible to undergo appropriate treatment with no delay.Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. New York.
