  ABSTRACT: Double teeth refer to two teeth that are totally or partially joined by dentin and maybe their pulps. These developmental anomalies may be the result of either gemination or fusion. This is a case of a 15-year-old Indo-Trinidadian male who presented with the fusion of a mandibular third molar with a distomolar as an incidental finding. The patient had his general dental care provided by a paediatric dentist and was referred to an oral and maxillofacial radiologist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon for consultation. A Cone-beam CT was taken to supplement the plain film periapical and orthopantomogram radiographs. It showed the three-dimensional orientation of the double molar and the extent of joining. This is the first case of fusion of a mandibular third molar to a distomolar being reported in the Caribbean.
