Swallowed partial dentures in elderly patients is an emergency situation that requires a swift response. Here, we report a case involving a patient with severe intellectual disability who swallowed his denture, which lodged at the oesophagus inlet. After failure of endoscopic removal, denture with clasp was removed using long forceps through intraoral approach under intravenous sedation. At the pharynx and oesophagus inlet level, removal of foreign body via intraoral approach should be preferentially considered over open surgery for faster patient recovery.
