Talon Cusp: Two Case Reports
Abstract
The talon is an accessory, irregular cusp on incisors and canines, involving in enamel and dentine with or without pulp tissue.It was also reported in association with syndromes, for example, Mohr Syndrome, Incontinenta pigmentii Achromians, Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome, Struge Weber Syndrome, Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome, and Alagille’s Syndrome. The aim of this paperwas to describe talon tubercules in two cases. In first case the talon cusp is seen on lingual surface of the maxillary left central tooth and there is a specific talon tubercle which extending from the incisal edge to the cervical edge, perpendicular to the mesiodistal surface of the tooth. In second case bilateral talon tubercles were detected extending from the cervical region less than half of the incisal margin on the lingual surface of the maxillary central and lateral teeth. This present two case reports radiograph gives a v-shaped radiopaque image.Talon tubercle is a dental anomaly we rarely encounter. Consequently this anomaly may occur with a systemic syndrome Therefore, clinicians should have adequate knowledge of this anomaly.
