Introduction. The aerosol box can reduce the risk of droplet and aerosol transmission from the patient to the operator when performing intubation, but in practice, an aerosol box makes the glottis visualization less evident, and the operator moves less space with less space the aerosol box. This study aimed to compare ETT duration using an aerosol box and without an aerosol box using a video laryngoscope. Methods: This study was a clinical trial with a post-test-only control design. The study was carried out from February 2021 to May 2021 at the Central Operating Theater of dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. The sample in this study was all patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia using intubation at the Central Surgical Installation of dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. After the data is collected, it is analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program with the appropriate test. Results. There were no differences in subject characteristics (age, sex, BMI, Mallampati score, TMD, Cormack Lehane, limited mouth opening, short neck, limited mouth movement) between the group using the aerosol box and the group without the aerosol box. The duration of intubation without an aerosol box is 30.67 + 2.63 seconds, and using an aerosol box is 44.53 + 2.89 seconds. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the duration of patient intubation (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in complications in the two groups (p >0.05). Conclusion. The duration of the endotracheal tube insertion using an aerosol box is more extended than without an aerosol box in elective surgery patients.

Impression making is not only important but is also the most significant step in the fabrication of any fixed or removable prosthesis. Proper impression making may be hindered by certain pathologic conditions. Reduced mouth opening is one of the common mechanical obstructions for proper orientation of the impression tray in the patient’s mouth. In patients with trismus induced by submucous fibrosis, the procedure may be even more difficult to carry out because of reduced tissue resiliency and obliteration of vestibular spaces. Use of sectional trays offers one of the alternatives to overcome the problem of restricted mouth opening. Fabrication of customized impression trays according to the patient dentition improves the accuracy of impression making. The present case reports describe the fabrication of sectional custom trays designed for dentulous patients with chronic tobacco-induced submucous fibrosis.

It is difficult to make impression and fabricate conventional dentures for patients with microstomia and flat ridge. This is a case report of 53-year-old female with limited mouth opening (25 mm) who had been wearing denture for 7 years and which was recently broken. Close mouth with suction impression method was used. Proper diagnosis and appropriate set of procedures and methods were needed for this patient. The conventional complete denture fitted with closed mouth method for this condition resulted in retentive and stable denture which was inserted and removed easily.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the ability to open the mouth in patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck and the variables related to this limitation. Methods: 32 patients were evaluated six months after completion of radiotherapy sessions to treat cancer in the head and neck. The maximum mouth opening was measured using digital calipers and its association with gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, tumor location, chemotherapy and surgery were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests at a level of significance of 95%. Results: The mean age of patients was 60.44 years; 87.5% were male; 81.2% were smokers; 65.6% regularly consumed alcohol. The average mouth opening was 43.17 mm and seven (21.9%) patients had trismus. The most common locations of the tumors were the tongue (31.3%) followed by the larynx and vocal folds with five (15.6%) each. No association was found between limited mouth opening and the other variables. Conclusion: In this sample, 21.9% of patients had trismus six months after completing radiotherapy. The variables gender, age, smoking habits and alcohol consumption, tumor location, previous surgery and adjunctive chemotherapy were not associated with limited mouth opening.
