Abstract
In children, discovery of a foreign body in teeth is often diagnosed accidently which may be lodged due to a traumatic injury or it may be a self-inflicted injury. However, in adults, it may be due to a social habit and the patient usually reports only when he/she experiences pain and then the foreign object is discovered in radiographic examination. In this article, we present a case report of a 23-year-old male with a ball pen nib lodged into the lower molar teeth due to an unusual social habit, which the patient himself was unaware about and the subsequent removal of the foreign body.
