Swallowing or aspirating dental prostheses can occur, posing diagnostic challenges, especially for acrylic resins. This case report reviews an elderly patient who swallowed a removable partial denture, highlighting imaging difficulties.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Accidental ingestion and aspiration of dental prostheses are recognized clinical occurrences.
  • Radiographic methods are standard for locating swallowed or aspirated foreign bodies.
  • Acrylic resin dental prostheses present unique challenges for radiographic localization.

Observation:

  • A case involving an elderly patient who accidentally swallowed a removable partial denture is presented.
  • The difficulty in locating acrylic resin prostheses radiographically is highlighted.

Findings:

  • Standard radiographic techniques may be insufficient for precise localization of acrylic resin dental prostheses.
  • Diagnostic imaging requires careful consideration of material composition.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of the limitations of radiography for acrylic dental prostheses.
  • Alternative or complementary diagnostic strategies may be necessary.
  • Improved methods for detecting swallowed acrylic dental prostheses are needed.
