It has a low morbidity and it does not impede the surgical field, allowing for temporary maxillomandibular fixation intra-operatively, and nasal assessment, manipulation and bone grafting, either simultaneously or as an independent procedure. It is a gold standard procedure in pan-facial fracture where nasotracheal intubation cannot be done. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol8octoberspledition/comparision-between-nasotracheal-intubation-and-submental-intubation-in-pan-facial-trauma/ Craniomaxillary trauma Anaesthesia equipment  Endotracheal tube Intubation tracheal submental
