title: Aspirated tooth removal from airway through tracheotomy and flexible bronchoscopy.
abstract: Aspiration of a tooth in facial trauma is a known complication. A complicated case of tooth aspiration with a compromised airway in a 28-year-old woman is described. The tooth was in the left main bronchus. A special technique involving flexible bronchoscopy, Fogarty catheter, and tracheotomy was used to extract the tooth.
