Artefacts in dental radiographs are not uncommon findings. In some cases, however, such film faults might lead to difficult or even wrong diagnoses. In this brief report, the authors present a case where a small piece of paper cast a foreign body-like image onto a panoral radiograph. The importance of proper techniques and film handling when taking radiographs cannot be over-emphasised.
