ABSTRACT
General anaesthesia using endo-tracheal intubation, carried out to provide pain- free, surgical and medical procedures, sometimes results in Traumatic Dental Injuries [TDIs]. Among the rarely reported TDI complication is tooth avulsion. We present two cases of such complications, factors which can be responsible, management of such cases, and the need to educate medical and paramedical personnel on what to do if such complications arise before definitive management can be carried out by the dentist. Such awareness will go a long way in preventing unnecessary litigations which might likely occur from such routine procedures.
