PN Ramaraj, HK Ajeya Ranganathan, VM Nithin, G Vijaya LakshmiJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2020 24(4):383-386 Foreign body ingestion although unusual may be possible during dental treatment when placing any implants, prosthetic crowns, restoration, endodontic treatment, or orthodontic treatment. When the ingestion occurs, it is always crucial to locate the foreign body within the patient's body by taking bi-planar radiographs. Any features of airway distress or obstruction should be ruled out and if it is located in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the nature and size of the material will decide t...
