Abstract
Foreign body accidents in the air and food passages occur to anyone at any time anywhere. Foreign bodies of dental origin hold a unique position because of their: (1) life-threatening character; (2) requiring a special skill in their removal; and (3) possibility of implicating a medicolegal dispute.One case of a child, who had a tooth as foreign body of bronchus (left upper lobe, B3), was reported. A new flexible forceps was developed for this case. Jackson's forceps is usually used for removal of foreign bodies in the air and food passages; and not for the upper lobe. This instrument, however, is for the removal of foreign body from the upper lobe. By using this forceps it is readily facilitated to solve these cases.
