After observing two cases of dental prostheses impacted in esophagus, fortunately solved by means of endoscopy, we have revised the current legislation in Spain. Knowing the present design of the prostheses and in accordance with the legislation, we consider some modifications must be performed in order to lower the risk of such complications. We want to raise an issue about this topic, often underestimated, and with a significant impact for the patients.
