“…Patients may insert and broke unfamiliar objects in the root canals which are opened after trauma for drainage of suppurative material. 13 Objects such as pencil tips, knitting needles, metal screws, beads, wooden pieces and staples were encountered as unfamiliar objects. These objects cause obstruction of the root canals and prevent instrumentation and treatment to be completed in root canal treatment.…”

ABS TRACT Cases with periapical lesions or extraoral sinus tracts have both aesthetic and functional problems. Non-surgical endodontic therapies to resolve these problems provide less traumatic solutions wıth higher cost-effectivity. A 14-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of swelling and skin lesion on the tip of his chin. Clinical and radiological examination revealed the cause of the extraoral sinus tract and periapical radiolucency as pulp necrosis associated with apical periodontitis in mandibular left incisors. Additionally, a radiopaque foreign object was detected in the middle third of the root canal of the mandibular left central incisor teeth. The foreign object was removed from the mandibular left central incisor and root canal fillings were performed for the mandibular left incisors teeth. Two weeks after the treatment, the extraoral sinus tract was completely healed and after 12 months the teeth were clinically asymptomatic and periapical tissue healing continued. The aim of this case report is to evaluate the success of the non-surgical endodontic treatment of the extraoral sinus tract and periapical lesion due to pulp necrosis and chronic apical periodontitis.

“…Root canals or pulp chambers can be obstructed by a number of foreign materials, which include endodontic files and obturation materials as well as foreign objects lodged inside a tooth by the patient him/herself. 1 Objects include pencil leads, darning needles, metal screws and many other items. [6][7][8] In the case described it was not possible to determine the nature of the object and the patient and parent were unaware of the cause.…”

“…Once those processes are affected and the root canal system only partially disinfected, the outcome of endodontic treatment can be unpredictable. 1 The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a focal point of investigation over the last few years and the development of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) has altered the status of the disease to that of a chronic medical condition.…”

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a focal point of investigation over the last few years. Consideration of endodontic treatment in an HIV-positive patient needs a calculated approach as the choice of materials and chemicals may influence the final result. A recent investigation showed that cases presenting with pre-operative pathology during examinations have a significantly lower prognosis after treatment. This clinical case report discusses the treatment approach of an upper left central incisor of an HIV-positive patient. The treatment approach and the outcome after a fifteenmonth follow-up period are outlined. Foreign bodies are sometimes lodged inside the root canal system of teeth and can be fortuitously discovered during dental examinations. In reported cases, children are among the patients more often affected by this phenomenon. 1 The reality is that these foreign bodies are not sterile and act as a potential breeding ground for organisms, which have the ability to cause infections and complications in the future. 1

Discovery of multiple foreign objects in the root canal is unusual and their removal is often difficult and challenging procedure. Entrapment of the foreign object in the pulp chamber or in root canal usually occur accidentally in children with the habit of chewing or placing various objects in the oral cavity. Clinically it was often encountered in tooth with wide carious lesion, exposed pulp chamber due to trauma or tooth left open for the drainage during root canal treatment. This impacted foreign body may act as a potential source of pain or infection. The attempt to retrieve such foreign object from the root canal with immature apex increases the risk of its displacement into periapical area. The present case report describes an unusual case of a patient with two metallic sewing needles inadvertently broken down in the root canal of the permanent maxillary left central incisor and it׳s successful retrieval by non-surgical endodontic treatment.
