Abstract:
Cheek biting is a chronic, usually innocuous, self-inflicted injury that is occasionally seen in children. This case report describes the characteristic features of this entity in an 8 year-old girl, including an unfortunate complication following an inferior alveolar mandibular block for restorative dental care.
