Resumo
materials inside the oral cavity are reported in the
medical literature. Specifically, ingestion and aspiration of
foreign bodies have greater prevalence in the routine of
medicine and dentistry. Despite being less harmful than
aspirations, the accidental ingestion of dental instruments
does not always culminate in favorable prognoses.
Mostly, complex conditions require medical intervention
through endoscopy or surgical approaches. The present
research aims to review the literature pointing out the
specialties of dentistry most involved with accidental
ingestion of dental instruments, highlighting the
important role of endoscopy for accurately locating and
retrieving foreign bodies. Prosthodontics, operative
dentistry, orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery arose
as the specialties in which these accidents are more
prevalent. Based on that, general dentists and specialists
must be aware for the essential care to avoid such clinical
accidents, as well as to know the available tools, such as
endoscopy, to overcome these situations in the routine of
dentistry.
