Abstract

Herhangi bir yabancı cismin aspirasyonu veya yemek borusuna kaçması, kanal tedavisi sırasında olabilecek en önemli ve talihsiz kazalardandır. Bunu önlemek için ‘rubber dam’ kullanmak çok önemlidir. Yabancı cisim, özofagustan veya gastrointestinal sistemden geçerek peritonite sebep olabilir hatta ölüme yol açabilir. Bu vaka raporunda hastanın alt sağ 2. Büyük azı dişine yapılan kanal tedavisi sırasında; rubber dam klambini yutması sunulmuştur. 51 yaşında erkek hasta, kanal tedavisinden sonra; özofagus bölgesinde ağrı ve tıkanma hissiyle Kulak Burun Boğaz Hastalıkları Bölümüne başvurmuştur. Alınan göğüs radyografisinde, hastanın yuttuğu yabancı cismin özofagusunda olduğu gözlenmiştir. Özofagusta bulunan rubber dam klambi, genel anestezi altında alınmış ve hasta 4 gün müşadede kalmıştır

Rubberdam Clamp Ingestion During Root Canal Treatment: A

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion and aspiration is probably one of the most serious accidents that may occur during root canal treatment. To prevent such a danger, rubber dam isolation is mandatory. Clinically, when a foreign body is ingested, the results may vary from esophageal or gastric ruptures to peritonitis or even death. This article presents a case of rubber dam clamp ingestion during the endodontic treatment of lower right second molar. 51-year old male patient experienced a feeling of obstruction and pain in the esophageal region; he was immediately presented to otolaryngology department. Posteroanterior chest graphy showed the foreign body in esophagus. Clamp was removed under general anesthesia via esophagoscope and patient was hospitalized for 4 days
