Abstract :Dental radiology has shown great developments in recent years. In addition to conventional radiography techniques, advanced imaging techniques are frequently used in dental radiology when necessary. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced imaging technique that is frequently used because of its high soft tissue resolution and no risk of ionizing radiation. However, it should be noted that MRI also has some risks. Ultrasonography (USG) is a very useful technique for imaging foreign bodies especially superficial ones. The purpose of this case report was to present the USG diagnosis and subsequent surgical removal of a metallic foreign body that interferes with MRI in a cheek of 40 years old female. At the same time, it was aimed to draw attention to the disadvantages of metals for MRI and the role of USG in detecting superficial foreign bodies.Keywords : Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasonography, metallic foreign body
