Abstract
Intubation may lead to several dental complications. Furthermore, a tooth damaged during intubation may be subsequently dislocated. In the present case, the upper primary incisor was avulsed during intubation and, unbeknownst to the anesthesiologist, displaced to the larynx. We report here on the findings and indicate appropriate treatment. Intubation for general anesthesia in children can result in tooth damage and/or dislocation of primary teeth with subsequent root resorption. Prevention is key, and thus it is critical to evaluate the patient's dental status before and after intubation. Furthermore, anesthesiologists and dentists should pay close attention to this risk to prevent any avulsed, dislocated, or otherwise displaced teeth from remaining undetected and subsequently causing serious complications.
