Abstract
Talon cusp is an uncommon dental anomaly referring to an accessory cusp projecting from the cingulum area, or cemento-enamel junction of maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth, in both the primary and permanent dentition. This paper reports a rare case of talon cusp affecting the mandibular right central incisor and maxillary right lateral incisor, together with other dental abnormalities, viz. an inverted impacted migrating mandibular right second premolar; complete agenesis of the maxillary and mandibular third molars, the maxillary right second permanent molar, and the mandibular left permanent central incisor; severe crowding; deep bite; hypoplastic teeth; bilateral reverse cross-bite in the premolar region; and a retrognathic mandible. The presence of this number of dental anomalies in a single patient is rare.Entities:
