Sir, a 51-year-old gentleman attended our unit with a history of six-day difficulty eating and an altered bite. On questioning, he gave a history of biting into a hard sweet and then felt a sudden pain in the right side of his face. The pain settled and he thought nothing more of it. He was medically fit and well. On examination the patient was comfortable at rest and not in pain. Figure 1 shows the patient at rest. Further examination demonstrated a deviated chin point to the left and an anterior open bite. There was some limited mouth opening and restriction of movement. Intraoral examination was unremarkable apart from gross caries in posterior segment teeth. No active infection was noted. An OPG was taken which showed the patient to be partially dentate with gross caries.
