Abstract
Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is very frequent in children. Ingestion of dislodged restorations, dental appliances, crowns, and teeth in dental operatory is frequently reported. Early diagnosis of foreign bodies ingestion in a dental operatory and awareness of its signs and symptoms are very crucial. A five-year-old boy accidentally ingested a stainless steel crown during the trial fit at the dental operatory. Crown retrieval was attempted but without success, and thus, the patient was further observed for possible signs and symptoms. Due to possible serious complications, ingestion of foreign bodies during dental procedures must be appropriately prevented and managed if it occurs.
