Abstract
This paper reports a case of fractured needle retrieval in the pterygomandibular space using the Medtronic surgical navigation system. Current literature on needle fracture and retrieval in the oral cavity was also reviewed. A literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, MDConsult, The Cochrane Library, and Google. A variety of keywords were used, including "needle fracture," "broken dental needle," "needle injuries in dentistry," "foreign body retrieval," and "dental needle retrieval." Articles published after 1980 were reviewed. Seventeen articles that involved broken dental needle retrieval were selected.Entities:
