ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 46-year-old man who was undergoing a routine dental examination when a radiograph film plate became lodged in his upper aero-digestive tract. The foreign body was successfully removed in the ENT department of the local hospital without significant harm being done. The case highlights the potential risks of even the simplest procedures, and makes a good argument for using radiograph film holders, when possible.
