Material and Methods : Twenty cases of accidental aspiration of the foreign body, which removed by bronchoscopy at the Asan Medical Center between 2008 and 2012, were analyzed retrospectively. Results : Ten cases of accidental aspiration were occurred during dental procedure. Symtoms include cough(65%), dyspnea(50%), sputum(25%) and wheezing(25%). The most common location of foreign body was right bronchial tree(50%), left bronchial tree(45%) and carina(5%). Patients risk factors were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, esophageal cancer and vegetative state. Conclusion : Accidental aspiration or swallowing of dental instrument or material is not uncommon accidents in dental practice. Most foreign bodies enter into gastrointestinal tract spontaneously.
