“…Foreign body aspiration in childhood is not a rare occurrence [1]. While food particles are the most common type of foreign body in the tracheobronchial system in young children [2], aspiration of primary [3] and permanent teeth [4, 5] have also been reported. Natal and neonatal teeth presenting extreme mobility due to immature root development are considered a high risk for aspiration [6] and were mentioned as candidates for extracted [7].…”

A 7-year-old girl had injured her maxillary primary incisors in a playground. One of the already-mobile incisors had been avulsed. The child who had a cough and breathing difficulties during sleep was diagnosed as suffering from upper respiratory infection and was treated with antibiotics. A few days later because her body temperature was elevated a chest radiograph was taken. The radiograph revealed an aspirated tooth in her right bronchus with atelectasis of the lower lobe. The tooth was removed by bronchoscopy. Dentists should suspect any tooth that has been avulsed and not found as possibly aspirated.

“…Natal and neonatal teeth presenting extreme mobility due to immature root development are considered a high risk for aspiration [6] and were mentioned as candidates for extracted [7]. Luxation and subsequent aspiration of teeth may be associated with the use of a laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation [8, 9] or traumatic injuries [4].…”

“…Sharp and long items such as needles, pins, and toothpicks carry a high risk for visceral rupture, accounting from 15% to 35% of the ruptures related to FB ingestion and may have to be surgically removed (Figure 9). Small screws, nails, press pins, and swallowed deciduous or permanent teeth can be subject to radiographic monitoring until excreted naturally 18…”

“…FBs can enter the respiratory system after aspiration, inhalation, or insertion, and may be lodged in the nose or throat, or the trachea and bronchi. Aspirated peanuts, food particles, fruit pits, teeth, and parts of plastic toys are frequent in children 18. Indeed, reported data indicate approximately 3500 deaths per year in children of all ages owing to aspiration of FBs in the tracheobronchial tree 2.…”

Foreign Bodies: Retained Items Ranging From Insignificant to Life-Threatening

Foreign bodies (FBs) may pose diagnostic difficulty to radiologists for a number of reasons, as the unaccustomed items, though not uncommon, can often comprise incidental or unexpected findings on the radiologic evaluation, inappropriate position of variable objects can be deliberate, accidental or due to assault, and urgent discovery of the potentially harmful material can be challenging. Because FBs can practically be found in all major organ systems of the human body and may occasionally intimidate normal activity and function, early and specific diagnosis can have a significant impact on treatment—that is where radiologists play a vital role helping the clinicians avoid unproductive diagnostic odysseys.

“…2,3 In young children, food particles are the most common type of foreign body but aspiration of primary and permanent teeth has also been reported. 4,5 In companion animals, bronchial foreign bodies include radiopaque and radiolucent materials 6 such as stones, bullets, nails, bone fragments, and dental calculus. In 1 dog, an aspirated tooth has also been reported.…”
