Foreign bodies' entrapments in the mandibular and submandibular regions are quite common.
We report an unusual case of foreign body (amalgam filling) entrapment over the mental foramen causing dysaesthesia in the distribution of the mental nerve. An interesting sign was blue discoloration of the overlaying oral mucosa which was interpreted as amalgam tattooing.
Surgical removal of the foreign object eliminated the reported symptoms.
异物嵌顿于下颌及下颌下区域颇为常见。
我们报告一例罕见病例,一枚银汞合金填充物嵌顿于颏孔上方,导致颏神经分布区域感觉异常。一个有趣的体征是覆盖其上的口腔黏膜出现蓝色变色,这被解释为银汞合金纹身。
手术取出异物消除了所报告的症状。
