A disturbing picture of Oksana Grigorieva has been released which she claims was taken hours after Mel Gibson allegedly hit her in the mouth.
The photograph, posted on celebrity website RadarOnline, appears to show the damage done to Grigorieva's teeth.
‘Oksana lost a veneer and the right front tooth was severely chipped,’ a source told the website. However, the photos do not appear to show any bruises to the Russian-born musician’s lip or face.
Court battle: Oksana Grigorieva, pictured at her lawyer's office yesterday, claimed that Mel Gibson lunged at her while she was holding Lucia, hurting the baby in the process
Grigorieva is alleged to be claiming that Gibson lunged at her while she was holding their baby Lucia, who was two months old at the time, and hurt the baby while doing so
She is said by RadarOnline to have told police that Gibson also left her with concussion after the altercation at the his Malibu home on January 6.
Lawyers for Grigorieva allegedly presented the pictures to a judge in Los Angeles yesterday in an attempt to strip the Lethal Weapon star of his custody rights.
RadarOnline said that she will use the photographs as vital evidence in her attempt to win sole custody of the couple's daughter.
There are unconfirmed reports the judge decided not to alter the current visitation arrangement, which gives Gibson daytime visits to see his daughter, now eight months old, and one overnight stay a week.
A detective from the LA County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau, who deals with child abuse and sexual assault, was seen at the hearing.
Grigorieva's dentist Dr. Ross Shelden allegedly provided a written declaration with information on her allegations that Gibson hit her and knocked out her teeth, TMZ reports.

The declaration allegedly states that Shelden saw evidence of 'blunt force trauma' as well as physical damage. However, he added that her teeth were not damaged, just her veneers or caps, with one knocked out completely and the other broken in half.
Gibson yesterday received support from his soon-to-be ex-wife, who filed for divorce in April 2009 after almost 30 years of marriage.
Robyn Gibson has written a sworn declaration on behalf of the Mad Max actor in which she insists he never harmed her or any of the couple's seven children during their 28-year marriage.
She writes: 'Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage.'
'Mel was a wonderful and loving father.'
The latest accusation comes after recordings of explosive phone conversations, allegedly between Gibson, 54, and his 40-year-old Russian ex-girlfriend, were leaked on the internet.
In one recording, Grigorieva is heard asking the disgraced actor: 'What kind of man is that? Hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands?'
Gibson allegedly responds: 'Oh, you're all angry now. You know what, you ******* deserved it.'
Los Angeles detectives have already launched an investigation into Grigorieva's claims - including the allegation Gibson punched her in the face 'more than once' while holding Lucia during the January 6 argument.
RadarOnline's allegations were repeated in the new York Post and several other American media outlets.
However, Gibson's lawyers were expected to tell the judge at yesterday's private custody hearing that the tapes were leaked by Miss Grigorieva as part of an attempt to get more money from him after their April break-up.

His legal team is also claiming to have 'concrete forensic evidence' that the recordings have been tampered with.
Yesterday, a fifth expletive-laced recording was released by RadarOnline in which allegedly Gibson claims to be broke, despite supposedly being worth millions.
'I don't have any f****** money,' he is alleged to have said on the recording.

There has been no proof as to the authenticity of the tapes and sources connected with Gibson have said that the actor denies striking Grigorieva.
Grigorieva, who split up with the actor around March, claims she started secretly tape-recording Gibson after he threatened to kill her.
Gibson is currently said to be in therapy. A friend of the actor told People.com that the actor is ‘coping as well as can be expected.'
