Abstract EN
It is important to extract foreign bodies for avoiding life-threatening complications.
They can lead to death if they are not treated.
Different signs and symptoms could occur according to the complete or partial airway obstruction.
Foreign body aspiration is a rare incident in adults.
The organic foreign materials such as foods are found to be aspirated more commonly and are usually settled in the right bronchial system.
However, dental prosthesis and teeth aspirations are rare in literature.
In our study, a 52-year-old male patient who had aspirated the front part of his lower dental prosthesis accidentally is presented and the foreign body is extracted by using rigid bronchoscopy.
There are many causes of aspiration but dental prosthetic aspirations should be kept in mind during sleep.
For this reason, dental apparatus must be taken out while asleep.
