Abstract
The authors present the case of a 62-year-old male who presented with dysphagia for 1 month after emergency intubation after sustaining a myocardial infarction. Subsequent clinical evaluation discovered an impacted partial denture as the source of this dysphagia. This case highlights clinically relevant issues regarding the multidisciplinary management of emergency intubation with subsequent dysphagia, the nature of dentures and their relevance to developmentally delayed individuals and an aging population. The diagnosis and management of impacted dentures involves valuable input from surgeons, physicians, radiologists and speech pathologists.Keywords
