Tooth Impaction and Hypodontia in a Patient with Talon Cusp: Report of a Case
Authors
Abstract:
Objectives This study is aimed to introduce an unusual case of a female with two talon teeth on both maxillary lateral incisors. Case A 38-year-old female was referred to oral medicine department, Qom university of medical sciences for routin examinations. Bilateral maxillary talon cusp was observed on maxillary lateral incisors. Future evaluation revealed impaction of maxillary left canine and missing all wisdom teeth. Since talon teeth were not decayed and no occlusal interferences were present, no treatment was performed and patient was scheduled for routine follow up recalls. Conclusion Comprehensive examination of the case revealed the province of bilateral talon cusp teeth in maxilla

A Talon Cusp on Fused Teeth Associated with Hypodontia: Report of a Unique Case
Fusion and talon cusps are rare developmental dental anomalies affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Talon cusps normally occur on the palatal surface of permanent maxillary incisors, while fused teeth are more common in the primary anterior dentition. An understanding of these dental anomalies and their associated problems are important to provide prophylactic measures, thereby prev...
full textAn unusual case of talon cusp on a geminated tooth.
Talon cusp is a developmental anomaly seen on the lingual surface of anterior teeth. Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development. These developmental anomalies may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries and tooth crowding. This paper presents an unusual case of gemination accompanied by talon cusp in permane...

full textAn unusual case of talon cusp on geminated tooth.
A rare case of talon cusp on geminated permanent central incisor is described. These developmental anomalies cause clinical problems including unsightly dental appearance, occlusal interference, displacement of the affected tooth, attrition, periodontopathy, irritation of the tongue, loss of space and malocclusion. Clinical and radiographic characteristics of these anomalies and modes of treatm...

BACKGROUND Talon cusp is a supernumerary structure projecting from the dento-enamel junction to a variable distance towards the incisal edge of an anterior tooth. Studies have shown that it consists of enamel, dentine and a variable amount of pulp tissue. Hyperactivity of the enamel organ during morphodifferentiation has been attributed to its formation. Most previous reports have been made con...
