Abstract
Dental radiographs play very crucial role in comprehensive patient care In dentistry a radiographic examination is essential for diagnostic purposes An ideal radiograph is one that provides a great deal of information the image exhibits proper density and contrast has sharp outlines and is of the same shape and size as the object being radiographed But most of the time we might not get to see ideal radiographs Poor radiographs contribute to a loss of diagnostic information It might be because of any radiographic faults or artifacts An artifact is a structure or an appearance that is not normally present on the radiograph and is produced by artificial means We are hereby reporting an incidental rare type of artifact resembling as a miniature Unidentified Flying Object UFO during routine dental radiographyKeywords Artifact Metal IOPA UFO
