talon cusp is a rare developmental anomaly that occurs most commonly on the lingual side of the incisors. occurrence of the labial talon cusp is rare in the dental literature. till date only seven cases of isolated nonsyndromic labial talon cusps have been reported in the maxillary permanent dentition. however, a few cases of syndromic labial talon cusps and faciolingual talon cusps have been r...

Talon cusp is a dental anomaly also known as an eagle's talon. It is an extra cusp on an anterior tooth which arises as a result of evagination on the surface of a crown before calcification has occurred. The exact etiology is unknown. The inci-dence of talon cusp is less than 6%. Commonly involved teeth are maxillary incisors, usually unilateral but in some instanc-es bilateral. The classical ...

talon cusp is an accessory cusp similar to a projection, extending from the cingulum or cemento-enamel junction to the incisal edge. it occurs on labial or palatal surfaces of primary or permanent anterior teeth in both arches. this accessory cusp can occur as an isolated entity or in association with other dental anomalies. occurrence of a talon cusp on supernumerary teeth is rare and uncommon...

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 an...

Talon cusp is a rare developmental anomaly that occurs most commonly on the lingual side of the incisors. It may cause various clinical problems, such as occlusal interference, irritation of the tongue, pulpal necrosis, caries and periodontal problems. Genetics is thought to be a major cause for the occurrence of this anomaly. This article reports three cases of talon cusp in three members of t...

background: talon cusp is a rare dental anomaly characterized by a cusp‑like projection, often including the palatal surface of the affected tooth. the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of talon cusps in a group of turkish children. materials and methods: the study population consisted of 14,400 subjects who attended the clinics of the department of ...

Fusions of teeth and talon cusp are two rare developmental dental anomalies, affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Both the anomalies are mostly reported as isolated finding and are rarely associated with other dental anomalies. Talon cusp is more common in maxillary anterior teeth in permanent dentition and fusion is commonly reported in mandibular teeth in primary dentition. The co...
