Abstract:
During endodontic treatment, a four year old, male child, suddenly moved his head, due to which an endodontic instrument slipped from the operator’s hand. Anteroposterior radiograph of the chest revealed the presence of a sharp foreign body in the fundus of the stomach. The endodontic instrument was then retrieved with endoscope, under full visualization in the screen throughout the retrieval process.
