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
