Objective: This paper presents a case report about an unnoticed swallowing of a partial denture impacted in the esophagus in a 74-year old man without serious complications.
Background Data: Dental prostheses (removable/fixed dental prostheses or fragments of dentures) appear to constitute a significant proportion of swallowed of impacted foreign bodies in the orolaryngopharynx.
Conclusion: This case emphazises that is advisable to contraindicate this type of unilateral removable partial denture to replace teeth as temporary or definitive dental prosthesis.
