Abstract

Displaced dentures can be difficult to diagnose and hence delays treatment. Their sharp edges and hooked wires make their removal challenging. They have to be removed soon so as to avoid complications. Here, we report two cases of displaced denture which were successfully retrieved. Also, a good communication between anaesthesiologist and surgeon ensures better control over airway.
