Abstract
Based on the dental fracture models studied, plastic laryngoscope blades have a lower potential for dental fracture compared with metal blades. Plastic laryngoscope blades would be best suited for trainees performing routine intubations under direct supervision. Metal blades would be more advantageous in difficult intubations preferably done by experienced intubators.
