An unusual incidental radiographic finding - a stapler pin: A case report

Abstract

Accidental discovery of a foreign object embedded in a tooth is not common. Children often have a habit of inserting objects into their mouth. Some of these objects can be accidentally ingested or even aspirated which can be a very frightening and a stressful experience. Herein, we report a case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with a stapler pin lodged in the root canal space of maxillary left deciduous central incisor.
