The location and tracking of swallowed dental appliances: the role of radiology

E. G. Absi and J. G. Buckley
Cardiff Dental Hospital and School, UK.

Two cases of swallowing mishaps, one involving a spoon-denture and the other an orthodontic partial arch wire, are reported. The former was recovered following interventional radiology, the latter by proctoscopy. The role of radiographic investigation and possible measures to prevent such potential life-threatening emergencies are discussed.
