What are the dangers of swallowing foreign bodies of dental origin? How do we recognize when a patient has actually swallowed a dental appliance? How far should we pursue the retrieval of the appliance? We report a case of a patient with unnoticed ingestion of a dislodged fixed partial denture while undergoing general anesthesia and review the literature on dangers of swallowing foreign bodies of dental origin. Anesthesiologists should understand the dangers and recognize this complication when it happens, so that appropriate treatment can be pursued if necessary.
吞咽源自牙科的异物有哪些危险？我们如何识别患者是否真的吞下了牙科器具？对于牙科器具的取出我们应该进行到什么程度？我们报告一例患者在全身麻醉期间未被注意到吞下了一枚松动的固定局部义齿的病例，并回顾了关于吞咽源自牙科的异物的危险的文献。麻醉医生应该了解这些危险，并在这种并发症发生时能够识别，以便在必要时进行适当的治疗。
