Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Talon cusp is an uncommon dental anomaly manifested as an accessory cusp-like structure on the crown of anterior teeth. This report describes two unusual cases of talon cusp. Case 1 showed bilateral anomalous cusps on the palatal aspects of maxillary supernumerary teeth, causing premature contact and tooth impaction. In case 2, a double-fused talon cusp was projected from the palatal surface of a large geminated central incisor. A talon cusp is not an innocuous defect, as it may provide a substantial diagnostic, treatment planning and procedural challenge. Early diagnosis and management are important to avoid complications.
