Abstract

Use of dentures is not an uncommon practice. Swallowing of such dentures can give rise to variable symptoms ranging from chest pain, dysphagia, oesophageal perforation, and erosion of a vessel leading to haemorrhage or rarely gastric outlet obstruction. Here we present a case of 62 year old man presenting with chest pain, dyspepsia, early satiety leading to occasional self induced vomiting . Upper GI endoscopy was performed which revealed an impacted denture in duodenum.

Keyword: Impacted denture; Chest pain; Upper GI Endoscopy; Bangladesh.
