Abstract
Talon cusp and fusion are uncommon odontogenic anomalies comprising of both primary and permanent dentition, which occur on the palatal surface of permanent maxillary incisors, while fused teeth are more common in the primary anterior dentition. This article reports an unusual case of talon cusp presenting on the lingual surface of fused permanent right mandibular central and lateral incisor in the permanent dentition in association with impacted left mandibular third molar. Recognition of this condition and early diagnosis are important to provide prophylactic measures, thereby preventing complications.
