“…Azodo et al in 2015 reported a similar case to case I wherein a 6-year-old child was habitually chewing on biro and a cutoff piece of the inner tube was embedded on 72. 4 Harris reported a case of an 11-year-old girl with pain in the right central incisor along with soft swelling of the gingiva and a large periapical lesion similar to case III. Wooden pieces from toothpicks and matchsticks were recovered from the root canal among several other objects.…”

IntroductionSelf-insertion of foreign objects in teeth is a common occurrence in children facing dental problems in an attempt to alleviate irritation, drainage, or other symptoms from teeth. However, this could lead to the development of infection and may worsen the condition if not intervened at an early stage. The removal of such objects and the preservation of involved teeth pose a challenge and, in some cases, the tooth must be extracted to resolve the infection.Aims and objectivesThe aim of this article is to report cases of foreign object insertion and discuss the related consequences, thereby, stressing the importance of regular dental visits and maintenance of oral hygiene so as to minimize dental neglect.Case StudiesThe article discusses four case reports of children in the age group 2–14 year old who reported with self- inserted foreign objects in their teeth.DiscussionRegular dental visits and timely dental management can help reduce the complications associated with such incidents. Ultrasonic instruments, the Masserann kit, periapical surgery and various other techniques have been recommended by the authors for successful removal of foreign objects from the pulp chamber and the canal.How to cite this articleLakhani B, Garg S, et al.

“…On the other hand, lodgement of a circular foreign object in the cervix of a tooth has been only rarely reported [10][11][12][13][14]. FBs surrounding teeth may extend to the periodontal tissues, causing FB gingivitis [15].…”

“…A foreign object could be also entrapped in the periodontal tissues without directly affecting the regional teeth. Incisors seem to be the most common teeth involved [11][12][13]. The majority of such FBs were made of plastic, while the most "dangerous" object detached was a metal ring [10].…”

Background: Several lesions of diverse origin may be detected in the oral cavity of children, affecting the oral mucosa, jaws, or teeth. In equivocal cases, their clinicopathologic features may show considerable overlap with various entities. We present a case of a "ring-like" hard mass around the cervical area of a primary tooth in a child and discuss the diagnostic challenges. Methods: A 2.5 year-old girl was presented by her mother for evaluation of a painless left first primary lower incisor lesion, first noticed 5 months ago. Medical history was unremarkable, while previous injury or other incident could not be recalled by the patient's mother. Clinical examination and a periapical radiograph were performed. Results:The clinical examination revealed a yellowish, non-removable, hard in consistency, cylindrical mass, completely surrounding the cervical area of the left first primary lower incisor. A periapical radiograph was performed, revealing a cylindrical radiopacity of mild intensity encasing the tooth cervix and a diagnosis of a foreign body inserted around the tooth was made. Regular follow-up appointments were attended for the next 4 years in which mild but progressive gingival recession, revealing a larger part of the ring-like structure was observed. At age of 6, the tooth was extracted and a cylindrical structure was detached from the tooth, confirming its nature as a foreign body. Conclusions: A foreign body surrounding the cervix of a tooth eventually becoming inseparable may cause a peculiar clinical and radiographic appearance and provoke diagnostic difficulties, especially in the lack of a relevant history.

During any dental treatment, various instruments, dental materials, and appliances come in contact with the tissues of the oral cavity. Inappropriate handling of these instruments and materials can cause both hard tissue and soft tissue damage. Periodontal destruction due to iatrogenesis and foreign body impaction is not uncommon. The present case report describes an unusual case of iatrogenic periodontal destruction due to restorative overhang as well as impacted restorative material into the interdental region and its management.
