Talon cusp is an uncommon anomaly in the primary dentition. The present report describes a case of bilateral talon cusps on the maxillary primary central incisors of an 18-month-old male child. Both central incisors exhibited a sharp prominent accessory cusp on the palatal surface which extended from the cemento-enamel to the incisal edge. The cusps were attached to tooth surface, forming a T-shape crown outline. The anomalous cusps were a source of tongue irritation, occlusal interference and pain to the mother while feeding. Selective grinding was done to relieve. the chief complaints. |
