“…Distal attachments were used in 25 patients during endoscopic removal in this study [ 23 , 24 ]. Dentures with clasps or interproximal extensions may cause injury, especially in a narrow segment [ 25 ]. When the end of the sharp part points toward the proximal side, the risk of injury during the retrieval procedure is increased.…”

Background. Dentures and dental instruments are frequently encountered ingested foreign bodies. The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopically removing ingested dental objects. Methods. Twenty-nine consecutive patients with 29 dental objects who were treated at the Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital from August 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Characteristics of the patients and the ingested dental objects, the clinical features and findings of radiological imaging tests, and outcomes of endoscopic removal were analyzed. Results. Patients' mean age was 62.9 ± 21.0 years. The ingested dental objects included 23 dentures (13 crowns, 4 bridges, 4 partial dentures, and 2 other dentures) and 6 dental instruments. Twenty-seven upper gastrointestinal endoscopies and 2 colonoscopies were performed, and their success rates were 92.6% and 100%, respectively. There were 2 cases of removal failure; one case involved an impacted partial denture in the cervical esophagus, and this case required surgical removal. Conclusions. Endoscopic removal of ingested dentures and dental instruments is associated with a favorable success rate and acceptable complications. The immediate intervention and appropriate selection of devices are essential for managing ingested dental objects.

“…A number of reports have documented such problems with small unilateral RPDs. [1][2][3] In this case an uneventful passage of the denture occurred but more serious complications such as bowel perforation have been documented. Management of such problems usually requires involvement of the MDT within hospital.…”

This case report describes the treatment of a woman who lost mandibular posterior teeth. The bilateral alveolar ridges showed severe tissue defects. She complained of the discomfort of a partial denture connected by a lingual bar and wished for fixed prostheses. However, the height of the alveolar bone was insufficient to place standard-length implants. In addition, she rejected bone augmentation and the usage of biomaterials. Therefore, short implants were placed in both sides of atrophic alveolar ridges without tissue augmentation. Conventional crowns were placed on the right side on three short implants, and a unilateral distal-extension partial implantretained partial denture (IRPD) using magnetic attachment was placed on the left side using the two available short implants. The patient was satisfied with the outcome of this treatment for 12 years even though a clasp was added to the removable partial denture at 11 years due to the wear of the magnet keepers. The combination of short implants and an IRPD using magnetic attachment is effective for patients with a severely atrophic posterior mandibular from the aspect of minimal intervention. 【 T h e Jo ur n al o f t h e A c a d em y o f Clinic al D e n t is t r y 3 7 (1・2): 7 2-8 0 ，2 017 】 Combination of short implants and a unilateral distal-extension implant-retained partial denture in case of severely reduced ridge height mandibular posterior region: 12-year follow-up
