Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Talon cusp is a well delineated accessory cusp projecting from the cingulum area of an anterior tooth. It is named so due to its resemblance with eagle's talon, which is the shape of eagle's claw when hooked on to its prey. Various alterations in shape in talon's cusp may be present like it may be either sharp or spiked, teat like or may have rounded and smooth tips. Only two cases have been reported in Indian population till date.
Case Report: Hereby, we report a unique case of talon's cusp in a four-year-old boy. Conclusion: The occurrence of talon's cusp in mandibular primary dentition is extremely rare. | |
