“…In addition, the incidence of foreign body ingestion or inhalation of dental origin is more common in adults than children [ 1 , 3 ]. Dental objects ingested or inhaled include: toothpicks, files, reamers, burs, impression materials, restorative inlays, crowns, post and cores, onlays, rubber dam clamps, removable prostheses, implant components, dental implant screw drivers, mirror heads and even a tooth during extraction [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Accidental ingestion or inhalation of foreign bodies has been widely documented, including incidents which occur whilst undertaking dental treatment. Most ingested objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) spontaneously, but approximately 10%–20% need to be removed endoscopically and 1% require surgery. This case reports a complication arising from the accidental loss of an archwire fragment during maxillary archwire placement. It describes the immediate and subsequent management, including the use of radiographs to track the passage of the fragment through the gastro-intestinal tract. This case stresses the vigilance that dentists must take to prevent inhalation or ingestion of foreign bodies and the consequences of time-delays when management decisions are needed.

This article presents a rare incident of a bilateral maxillary removable partial denture as an airway foreign body. The removable partial denture and the surrounding soft tissue irritation caused partial obstruction of the airway. Impending airway collapse was avoided after successful removal of the foreign body. Removing a removable dental prostheses at night, not only to prevent soft tissue pathology but also to avoid ingestion or aspiration of the prosthesis, must be emphasized.
