Abstract

[OBJECTIVE] To describe a new method to improve the exposure of the surgical field and to protect the oral cavity during transoral laser micro-surgery (TOLMS) of the larynx.

[METHODS] Dental Impression Silicone Putty (DISP) was employed as an alternative to traditional mouthguards.

[RESULTS] DISP mouthguards perfectly fit to each patient, reduce encumbrance in the mouth, and reduce pressure on the teeth; disadvantages are minimal.

[CONCLUSIONS] Although clinical studies are necessary to demonstrate the efficacy of the method in reducing the incidence of oral complications, DISP mouthguards represent a significant aid for laryngeal exposure.
