In a single blind randomized clinical trial, we studied 300 patients with ASAclass I, II (American Society of Anesthesiologists), Mallampati class (I, II), and age over 55 years in three groups.we tested the hypothesis that placing a packed (two folded) gauze (8 layer - 10 x 10 cm) in each buccal cavity in edentulous patients results in easier bag mask ventilation compared with edentulous patients who have had their dentures were removed or were left in the place . Our Exclusion criteria were full stomach pateints, pateints with NG tube, Fascial Anomali, Mallampati Class IIII, IV, Beard and Snorring. A prospective blind randomized clinical trial performed in Nikookari teaching hospital in Tabriz-Iran. After induction of anesthesia, in group G dentures were removed and in each buccal space an eight-layer10×10 cm gauze and an oral airway were placed. In group D the dentures and an oral airway were left in place. In group C (control), after removing dentures just an appropriate oral airway was placed. Then, each three group underwent bag-mask ventilation. Success of bag-mask ventilation was considered as increase in ETCO2 to more than 20 mmHg and back to Base-Line with FGF=3 Lit/min and APL valve pressure at 20 cmH2O
