Abstract
- Foreign bodies in the maxillofacial area are not commonly seen. If occurred, the immediate removal of foreign bodies is recommended to avoid further complications. The most important thing is a exact localization of foreign bodies using X-rays such as plain radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound before treatment. During removal of foreign bodies, tissue should be dissected carefully and complete exploration of the whole wound required.
