ABSTRACT
Tooth aspiration is one of the rare sequelae of dental trauma. When this does occur, the right bronchus is usually involved in adults due to the anatomical configuration. In this unusual case, two teeth were aspirated with one entering each lung. While the outcome from cases of aspiration of foreign bodies is usually favourable, this case serves to illustrate one of the possible unfavourable consequences.
