Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

Talon cusps are relatively rare dental anomalies that manifest as accessory cusplike structures and project from the cingulum area of the anterior teeth. The condition can occur in both the primary and permanent dentitions. However, the occurrences of anomalous cusps are rather infrequent in the primary dentition. Little has been written about the treatment of talon cusps in the primary dentition compared with their counterparts in the permanent dentition. The purpose of this article was to document the management of a patient with a maxillary primary incisor affected by a talon cusp and the long-term follow up.
