Abstract (English):	A foreign body is defined as any object coming from outside, foreign to the human body. In dentistry, cases of accidental aspiration or ingestion of orthodontic appliances or fragments, as well as instruments used during dental practice, have been described. If a sharp object pierces the esophagus, the consequences can be serious. Food and other esophageal contents can enter the chest cavity (mediastinum) and cause a life-threatening inflammation (mediastinitis). Sharp objects can also cause perforation of the stomach, intestines, colon or rectum. The perforation allows food, digestive juices, or intestinal contents, to leak into the abdomen. This leak is a medical emergency, as it can cause peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal cavity) with fatal consequences. It passes more frequently into the digestive tract than into the respiratory tract. The biggest problems occur at the level of the esophagus and stomach. Abdominal radiographic studies are the initial approach and are very useful in determining the location of ingested foreign bodies, in addition to fiber ingestion for i ntestinal motility.

Abstract (Spanish):	Un cuerpo extraño se define como cualquier objeto procedente del exterior, ajeno al cuerpo humano. En odontología se han descrito casos de aspiración o ingesta accidental de aparatología de ortodoncia o fragmentos, así como instrumentos empleados durante la práctica odontológica. Si un objeto agudo perfora el esófago, las consecuencias pueden ser graves. Los alimentos y otros contenidos esofágicos pueden penetrar en la cavidad torácica (mediastino) y causar una inflamación potencialmente mortal (mediastinitis). Los objetos afilados también pueden causar perforación de estómago, intestinos, colon o recto. La perforación permite que los alimentos, los jugos digestivos o el contenido intestinal, se viertan en el interior del abdomen. Esta fuga es una urgencia médica, ya que puede causar peritonitis (inflamación de la cavidad abdominal) con consecuencias mortales. Siendo más frecuente su paso al tracto digestivo que a la vía respiratoria. Los problemas mayores suceden a nivel de esófago y estómago. Los estudios radiográficos abdominales son el enfoque inicial y son muy útiles para determinar la ubicación de cuerpos extraños ingeridos, además de la ingestión de fibra para la movilidad int estinal.
