Orotracheal intubation is one of the most frequently used techniques in emergency procedures and especially in anesthesia and resuscitation. Teeth may be "victims" of the orotracheal intubation. Several factors may predispose to these accidents. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of oral trauma that occurs during scheduled and urgent oral tracheal intubation, and identify the risk factors, the types and locations of these dental injuries.
