Ingestion of foreign bodies is very common. Especially, more than 120.000 cases were recorded in the USA in only one year, while approximately 1500 deaths per year are attributed to ingestion of foreign bodies [1-2]. Various complications can be occurred during daily clinical practice by accidental ingestion of dental objects such as burs, impression materials, dental inlays or crowns, endodontic posts, fixed or removable prosthetic restorations [3]. These life-threatening complications like peritonitis, sepsis, fistulas and duodenocolic fissures, abscess formation and injury to the digestive tract are related to obstruction or perforation caused by the ingested foreign body [1, 3]. Ingested foreign bodies usually pass through the anus without any complication. In 10-20% of patients endoscopic removal is required, while in 1% of patients surgery is necessary [3]. We herein report a case of an accidental ingestion of a dental bur in an 84 year- old-male.
