Abstract

We report two rare cases of iatrogenic foreign bodies(inlay)in the upper lip and tongue induced during dental treatment.Case 1: A 48-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of metal inlay impaction into the upper lip. The inlay could be touched from the oral side and was surgically removed without complications. Case 2: A 68-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a suspected foreign body in the mandible. An occlusal radiograph revealed a foreign body in the tongue. Inflammation was not present at the site of foreign body impaction. The foreign body was surgically removed without complications and was found to be inlay.
