This case documents the course and treatment of a severe reaction to an unusual foreign body. A tooth brush bristle was lodged in the lower anterior areas between the cuspid and lateral incisor teeth. Although the patient noted some original discomfort, severe pain and bone destruction did not occur until 6 weeks after the original symptoms began. Treatment involved full thickness flap reflection of the involved area. The histologic examination showed a typical foreign body reaction to the bristle. All teeth remained vital throughout the disease process and healing phase. Healing was uneventful and the lost bone completely regenerated.
本病例记录了对一种罕见异物的严重反应的病程及治疗情况。一根牙刷刷毛嵌顿于尖牙和侧切牙之间的下前牙区域。尽管患者最初感到有些不适，但直到最初症状出现6周后才出现剧痛和骨质破坏。治疗包括对受累区域进行全厚瓣翻瓣术。组织学检查显示对刷毛有典型的异物反应。在整个疾病过程和愈合阶段，所有牙齿均保持活力。愈合过程顺利，缺失的骨质完全再生。
