“…Archer et al [ 34 ] and Kennett et al [ 35 ] reported management of broken needles using radiographs such as lateral and posterior-anterior views to locate the broken needles. As the panoramic radiograph has improved, preoperative diagnosis has become accurate and the surgical success has increased.…”

Background Foreign bodies may be embedded or left behind in the oral cavity during oral surgical procedure. The loss of instruments such as impression material, surgical gauze, and broken injection needles are commonly reported in the dental field. These complications are generally symptomatic and show signs of inflammation, pain, and purulent discharge. Accidental breakage of suture needles is a rare but potentially dangerous event. Case presentation In this report, we present one case of lost suture needle during the procedure of flap operation at local dental clinic and its successful removal under local/general anesthesia administration via CBCT with a help of two reference needles to localize the 6-0 nylon needle and consulting with the clinician. Conclusion CT scanning taken while mouth-closing may not be accurate with regard to real location measurement performed while mouth-opening. If so, other up-to-date radiographic devices and methods to retrieve a needle are recommended.

“…Panoramic radiographs should be taken routinely for documentation immediately after any incident. Archer et al [50] and Kennett et al [51] recommended additional radiographs, usually lateral and posterior-anterior views, to estimate the approximate three-dimensional position for the routine preoperative assessment. For the past two decades, a trend to exact preoperative diagnosis has improved preoperative planning and generally increased surgical success; today, threedimensional imaging techniques have become standard for visualizing foreign bodies.…”
