Description
Foreign objects are often discovered in the deciduous dentition during radiological examination. We discuss the case of an 8-year-old boy who had accidentally embedded a screw in his mandibular right second deciduous molar and had forgotten about it until it became infected. The screw was impacted in the exposed pulp chamber due to a large carious lesion in the affected molar. This report also considers the possible medical and dental consequences of placing foreign bodies in the mouth.
