Abstract
A detailed and honest social history is vital when piecing together any clinical diagnostic puzzle. This case presentation highlights this, leading to a surprising diagnosis for both patient and clinician. Additionally, access to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has vastly widened diagnostic accuracy within the dental field, and this case emphasizes the importance of thorough training to identify, and interpret, incidental findings. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Injuries obtained under the influence of drugs might be missed without in-depth social history and appropriate imaging training.
