Abstract
Many complications can be encountered during diagnosis and treatment in healthcare. These can range from the simple to the serious enough to be life-threatening. Preventing complications before they occur is essential. However, they can occur despite all the precautions taken. When they develop, the process needs to be managed properly. Foreign body ingestion and aspiration are among the most important complications in dentistry. While complications can be overcome more easily in cases of ingestion, emergency intervention may be required in cases of aspiration. In both cases, medical doctors and dentists must work in coordination and the process must be managed. In this case report, the diagnosis of a third molar tooth that was ingested during extraction and the subsequent process is shared.
