Impalement injury of oral cavity due to a sharp objects are also not uncommon and should be taken seriously since they may turn out to be life threatening. Preoperative clinical and radiographic assessment, along with a good understanding of the nature of injury as well as the size, shape, location and composition of the foreign body will provide the surgeon with better diagnosis toidentify and retrieve the foreign materials completely.This article brings out four cases of foreign bodies in orofacial region following trauma anddiscussthesurgical approachwe usedto retrieve them.
