Publication date: Available online 23 February 2019Source: Pediatric Dental JournalAuthor(s): Keisuke Kondo, Motohiro Kikuchi, Daisuke Nasu, Takahiro Kaneko, Norio HorieAbstractIn this paper, we report two rare cases of foreign body oral injuries caused by forks inserted tightly into both sides of the lingual interdental spaces between the mandibular deciduous canines and first deciduous molars (FDMs). These pediatric cases of foreign body insertion caused not only soft tissue injuries but also the potential luxation of affected deciduous teeth, i.e., the FDMs in the present cases, during the removal of the object by force.
