Abstract
Ingestion or aspiration of foreign objects may present as a significant complication
with various common dental procedures. The most reported ingested or aspirated dental
materials have included endodontic instruments and metal restorative and prosthetic
materials, which can often be identified clinically and radiographically from their
relative radiodensities. The authors present an unusual report of lodged impression
material in the hypopharynx, which was not detectable radiographically.
