A 22 year old man presented with pain arising from his carious lower left second molar. An Orthopantomogram (OPT) revealed an incidental finding of an odontome fused to an upper wisdom tooth, a finding that to the author's knowledge has never been previously reported. This case also illustrates the value of panoramic radiographs in identifying incidental pathology.
