The presence of an accessory or a duplicated mouth and mandible is extremely rare. The authors reported a case of a 19‐year‐old female patient with a duplicated oral cavity and mandibular dentition, presented to Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital, Sudan. The clinical and radiological findings were described together with the surgical technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second adult case with an isolated duplicated oral cavity and mandible in the medical literature, but the first one fully illustrated with clinical images and radiographs.
