ABSTRACT

Denture foreign body is relatively common in the elderly. Loss of sensation in oral cavity and pharynx or poor motor control may increase the risk of foreign body ingestion in denture wearers. The authors present three cases with denture foreign body ingestion in esophagus or bronchus. The two cases occurred after emergent intubation in pneumonia patients, while one of them was diagnosed 4 days later due to the negligence in follow up radiologic images. The other case happened in a drunken state and the patient didn’t notice for 2 months. Suspicion after history taking and careful examination with endoscope or radiography is mandatory in early diagnosis and quick treatment. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2016;27:392-396)
