Shetty P, Xavier AM.Management of a talon cusp using mineral trioxide aggregate. International Endodontic Journal. ABSTRACT: Aim  To report on the successful conservative management of three patients having a talon cusp with pulpal involvement using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Summary  Mineral trioxide aggregate was used to induce hard-tissue formation following the direct pulp capping of a resected talon cusp in three cases. Key learning points  •  Talon cusp is an odontogenic anomaly which can cause occlusal interferences, displacement of the affected tooth, caries-susceptible developmental grooves and speech difficulties •  Direct pulp capping using MTA following the resection of a talon cusp is a suitable treatment option.
