Abstract

Maxillofacial trauma is often associated with avulsion of teeth. Occasionally, there may be tooth aspiration either spontaneously or following intubation. We report a case of tooth aspiration in a patient of head injury and maxillofacial soft tissue injury following motor vehicle accident and have discussed regarding its incidence, sequelae, and management.
