Summary:	Since the mid of eighties of the last century, submental (S-MEN) and submandibular (S-MAN) intubation(s) are practiced worldwide. It is an easy technique, has certain indications and limited complications. In our case series, S-MAN was useful in reducing the time of the old nasal technique and then followed by the oral intubation technique and herein reducing the risk of aspiration and hypoxia. We are presenting its applications for the first time in our medical facility in maxillofacial surgery in six patients with a short description of the technique that was modified over the years and the outcome.
