Abstract:
Three accidental cases of accidental ingestion of radiolucent upper partial dentures are presented. As impaction in the upper gastrointestinal tract has a serious morbidity and even mortality, we recommend that dental surgeons consider this possibility when designing a prosthesis to replace anterior teeth.
