Abstract
One of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental
ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. Appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct posi-
tion of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from ga-
strointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perforations and impactions. The aim of this article is to report accidental ingestion of 19 mm
long screw driver by a senile patient.
