title: [A man with pain in his upper jaw].
abstract: A 66-year-old man came to the hospital with pain in the frontal left side of his upper jaw. Pressure along the left nostril could evoke a sharp pain, which radiated upwards. The patient had already consulted several specialists. After extended clinical and radiological investigation a mesiodens was found that gave pressure on the nasopalatine nerve.
