Impacted dental bridge in the esophagus following general anesthesia: A case report

A dental bridge impacted in the esophagus of a 43-year-old man was successfully removed using endoscopy, without any further complications. It is of utmost importance that the medical staff carefully assess the patient's dental condition, provide clear documentation, and notify the patient appropriately to prevent dental prosthesis-related complications and claims. Anesthesiologists also need to be more cautious in the perioperative period, even after extubation, because this complication may not be completely avoidable.

Estudio comparativo de la desadaptación entre los puentes odontológicos ceramometálicos de tres unidades: puente odontológico convencional vs. puente odontológico con perno buje / A comparative study of the misfit between three-unit metal-ceramic dental bridges: conventional dental bridge vs. pin hub dental bridge

Las coronas individuales presentan un nivel de desadaptación con las piezas dentarias que se magnifica de manera significativa en las estructuras de Prótesis Parcial Fija como son las férulas y el puente odontológico (PO). Esta desadaptación es la consecuencia geométrica de la sumatoria de errores de las cabezas de empotramiento de los PO convencionales, a la que hemos denominado un cruce angular o sinergia de errores. Para evitar dicha sumatoria de errores, hemos desarrollado un elemento protético que denominamos Perno Buje (PB) que permite, tanto en Prótesis Parcial Fija como en Prótesis Implanto Asistida, obtener más precisión con este tipo de estructuras construídas en dos piezas y soldadas en frío que con las construídas en una sola pieza. Este estudio ha demostrado una clara evidencia de que el comportamiento del PB genera una gap menor y más predecible que el PO convencional (AU)

The individual crowns show a level of teeth failure rehabilitation that is significantly magnified in partial fixed prosthesis as in splints and dental bridges. This failure, called angular cross or mistake sinergy, is the geometric consequence of the number of mistakes that conventional dental bridge fitted heads produce. In order to avoid this sum of mistakes, a prothetic element called Pin Hub has been developed. This element allows more accuracy in this kind of structures made of two pieces and cold welding than the ones made out of one piece; not only in partial fixed prothesis but also in assisted implant prosthesis. This study has proved that the Pin Hub creates a minor and more predictable gap that the one produced by a conventional dental bridge (AU)
