          Abstract

          Objectives

          To review the cases of accidental aspiration and ingestion of foreign objects during dental procedure, and to emphasize the importance of thorough documentation of the accidents.

          Methods

          A comprehensive search on (dental procedure/treatment/practice), (aspiration/inhalation), and (ingestion/swallow) was performed for all years before 1st October 2014 available. The statistic analysis was made on the variables including journals and reported year, patients’ age, gender, general conditions, dental procedure and location for procedure, foreign objects, site of involvement, possible causes, anesthesia during procedure and treatment, symptoms, treatment time and treatment modality, follow-up, and so on.

          Results

          A total of 617 cases reported by 45 articles from 37 kinds of journals were included and analyzed. Most reports made detailed record. While some important variables were recorded incompletely, including patient’s general conditions, location for procedure, clinical experience of the involving dentists, tooth position of procedure, possible causes, and anesthesia during procedure and treatment for the accident.

          Conclusions

          Aspiration and ingestion of foreign objects are rare and risky complication during dental procedure. Each accident should have thorough documentation so as to provide enough information for the treatment and prevention.

          Foreign body aspiration: clinical utility of flexible bronchoscopy.

          Foreign body aspiration is a worldwide health problem which often results in life threatening complications. More than two thirds of foreign body aspirations occur among children younger than 3 years. Organic materials such as nuts, seeds, and bones are most commonly aspirated. There is a wide range of clinical presentation, and often there is not a reliable witness to supply the clinical history, especially in children. Maintaining a high index of suspicion is therefore necessary for the diagnosis. None of the imaging methods employed in such cases are diagnostic, and bronchoscopy is frequently necessary for the diagnosis as well as the treatment. In adults, removal of the foreign body can be attempted during diagnostic examination with a fibreoptic bronchoscope under local anaesthesia, which may help to avoid any further invasive procedures with more complications. When diagnosis is delayed, complications of a retained foreign body such as unresolving pneumonia, lung abscess, recurrent haemoptysis, and bronchiectasis may necessitate a surgical resection. However, some of the late complications may resolve completely after the retrieval of the foreign body, therefore, a preoperative flexible bronchoscopy should always be considered in suitable cases.

            Bronchoscopic removal of aspirated foreign bodies in children.

            Foreign body aspiration is the cause of death for more than 300 children each year in the United States. Tracheobronchial inhalation of foreign bodies may result in acute respiratory distress, atelectasis, chronic pulmonary infections, or death. A review of the records of 548 children (aged 4 months to 18 years) was undertaken to identify factors important in diagnosis, to illustrate the effectiveness of current endoscopic techniques and equipment, and to evaluate the results and complications of management. Coughing, choking, and wheezing were the presenting symptoms seen for 95% of the patients. Results of inspiratory and expiratory chest radiographs were positive in 83% of the 440 children who had foreign bodies removed. Fluoroscopy findings were positive for 67 patients, 90% of whom had foreign bodies removed. Foreign bodies were successfully identified and removed in 440 patients (80%). A wide variety of objects was recovered, the most common being peanuts, organic material, other nuts, popcorn, seeds, plastic objects, and pins. The foreign bodies were in the right bronchus in 49%, the left in 44%, and the trachea and hypopharynx in 4%. Two thirds of the objects were lodged in the mainstem bronchi, on either side, and the remainder were in the distal bronchi. Bronchoscopy is required for treatment, and with experience this procedure can be simple and safe. Ninety-nine percent of the foreign bodies identified during bronchoscopy were removed successfully. Minor complications occurred in 5%, and there were no deaths.

              Management of foreign bodies of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

              Watt Webb (1987)
              In the United States, 1500 people die yearly of ingested foreign bodies of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The flexible esophagogastroduodenoscope has had a major impact on the treatment of these foreign bodies. The following discussion includes the management of coins, meat impaction, sharp and pointed objects, button batteries, and cocaine packets; and it reflects both a personal experience and a review of the literature. The uses of the rigid and the flexible endoscopes, the Foley catheter, glucagon, papain, and gas-forming agents are presented. The cost-effectiveness impact of the flexible endoscope is also detailed, and morbidity and mortality rates for foreign body management are included.
