  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Talon cusp is an uncommon developmental anomaly affecting anterior teeth.
  • This condition presents as an extra cusp projecting from the lingual surface.

Observation:

  • Five distinct cases of talon cusp were identified.
  • The observations were made during routine clinical examinations of patients.
  • The talon cusps were located on the lingual surfaces of anterior teeth.

Findings:

  • The presence of talon cusps was confirmed in five individuals.
  • The anomaly was discovered incidentally during standard dental check-ups.
  • All cases involved the lingual aspect of anterior teeth.

Implications:

  • Early detection of talon cusps is crucial for preventive dental care.
