OBJECTIVETo evaluate the psychological situations of patients with soft tissue injuries in oral and maxillofacial region by different kinds of suturing.
METHODSA total of 200 patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Group A received intradermic suture while group B underwent para-position suture. All patients were evaluated by hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scales pre-suture, after one week, one month and three months.
RESULTSThe HAD total scores of group B were significantly high compared with group A (P < 0.05) after one week and one month, while there was no difference between group A and group B pre-suture and three months later.
CONCLUSIONSIntradermic suture results in less psychological influence in patients with soft tissue injuries in oral and maxillofacial region.

Submental endotracheal intubation for surgery was used as an alternative to nasotracheal intubation in patients with craniomaxillofacial injury. Generally extubation was performed in the operation room by pulling the tube through the submental incision site. When extubation is not indicated, intraoral indwelling is preferred to submental intubation. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient with multiple facial bone fractures. At the end of the surgery, we noticed the oropharyngeal edema, and so the submental intubation was converted into a standard orotracheal intubation. During that procedure, the pilot balloon was accidentally detached from the endotracheal tube. The situation was managed by cutting a pilot tube from a new, unused endotracheal tube and connecting it to the intubated tube using a needle connector.
