“…Prevention is the gold standard for avoiding accidents. Preventive equipment such as the use of rubber dams and dental floss tied to instruments must always be used 5 . Before dental procedures, patients with a high probability of an accident should be prepared for thoroughly with a medical history review.…”

“…However, if the removal of the foreign body through the endoscope fails or if the foreign body is impacted into the digestive tract, the issue has to be resolved surgically. When a rigid bronchoscopy failed after an aspiration accident, a bronchotomy, lobectomy, and thoracotomy were performed 5 . When an endoscopy failed after an ingestion accident, an esophagotomy, gastrotomy, laparotomy, and resection were performed 8 .…”

“…Most patients with aspiration complain of coughing, shortness of breath, foreign body sensation, and chest pain, and those who ingested exhibited symptoms such as dysphagia, vomiting, sore throat, cyanosis, and coughing 5 . Asymptomatic cases after an initial event occurred in 64.29% of the cases in the literature 9 - 13 .…”

Population aging and the usage of small devices in implant prosthetic procedures have led to many incidents of dental aspiration and ingestion. Various preventive measures have been introduced to prevent these accidents. However, accidents can occur at any time. Dental aspiration and ingestion lead to fatal consequences if the issue is not promptly and appropriately dealt with. Preparing a collaborative system for dealing with accidents before they occur can prevent further sequelae. This study involves ingestion and aspiration accidents that occurred during dental treatment: two ingestion cases and one aspiration case. All dental foreign bodies were removed according to the guidelines presented in our review. With the cooperation of other medical departments, the issues were quickly resolved. Simple and accurate protocols should be provided to all dentists and dental staff to respond to such dental emergencies. In addition, collaboration among other medical departments should be established before any accidental ingestion and aspiration events occur.
