Rare But a Serious Complication during Dental Implantation: Implant Aspiration

Tracheobronchial foreign objects are life threatening situations. Although they occur more frequently in children, they may occur in any age group. Sometimes, when aspiration episode cannot be received in patients who have persisting dry cough and labored breathing, foreign object aspiration must be suspected. In addition to the listening signs in diagnosis, chest radiography is sufficient most of the time. In this case, a 54-year old male patient is mentioned who aspirated implant material and subsequently reported to the emergency clinic with the complaints of labored breathing and dry cough.
