If a dental instrument or prosthesis is accidentally swallowed, it is spontaneously excreted within about 4 weeks after passing through the stomach in adults. However, it sometimes requires endoscopic or surgical removal because of obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract. Severe complications such as gastrointestinal perforation, bleeding, ileus, abscess formation and perforative peritonitis are rarely causing by accidental swallowing of foreign bodies, but when they do occur, usually require emergency abdominal surgery.We report a case of a 36-year-old man who accidentally swallowed a piece of broken partial denture. In this case, perforative peritonitis occurred very soon after the accidental swallowing, and an emergency laparotomy for removal was required.
