Foreign bodies/objects are substances that are non-native to the area of interest. They may frequently cause irritation or allergic reactions. An unnoticed foreign body may lead todeteriorating sequelae. Self introduced foreign body into the root canal of mandibular incisors is a rare occurrence. This Case discusses about a 13 year old boy who self introduced a metallic foreign object into the root canal of 32. A simple IOPA on time helped in appropriate management of the tooth and prevented deteriorating sequelae.
