Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: A denture as an aerodigestive tract foreign body continues to present challenges to otolaryngologists. Records of patients who presented with a denture as an aerodigestive tract foreign body were retrospectively reviewed.
METHODS: Records of patients treated during the last 8 years were reviewed to gather information on the age, sex, and presenting symptoms of the patient, location of the denture, radiographic findings, and endoscopic procedure required.
RESULTS: Our review identified 15 patients, with the mean and median age being 59.6 and 63 years, respectively. One patient presented with a denture in the valleculae, 4 patients with a denture in the airway, and 10 patients with a denture in the hypopharynx/esophagus. Rigid endoscopy was performed to remove the dentures in most patients. An esophagotomy was required in 1 patient.
CONCLUSIONS: Fixed partial dentures should be advised by dentists, especially in patients who have predisposing factors such as old age, epilepsy, mental retardation, or alcoholism.
