Abstract

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.
