Four patients with AFB of dental prostheses are described. Two patients were bedridden because of cerebrovascular disorders, and easily aspirated dental prostheses. Two healthy cases experienced aspiration during dental treatment. The aspirated foreign bodies consisted of 2 dentures and 2 dental crowns. In two cases, removal of the aspirated foreign body was delayed, and the extractions were very difficult. All aspirated foreign bodies were successfully extracted using flexible bronchoscope under local anesthesia. Conclusion. AFB aspiration of dental prostheses are expected to increase in aging society. It is important to extract the AFB soon after aspiration. Flexible bronchoscopy is considered the first line approach to extract the AFB.
