abstract="Foreign bodies are often encountered by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and may present a diagnostic challenge, due to many factors such as nature of foreign body material, the size of the object, difficult access and a close anatomical relationship of the foreign body to vital structures. There are foreign bodies like glass pieces, plastic materials, wooden pieces are not seen in routine radiographs and often misdiagnosed. To reduce the chances of complications presence of foreign body in the patients head and neck region must be thoroughly investigated by the surgeon.
