Abstract

Talon cusps in anterior teeth are relatively rare developmental anomalies. They are characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp-like structure projecting from the cingulum area or cementoenamel junction. Facial talons occur very rarely; <10 cases have been described in the literature. This article attempts to describe the variants of this anomaly with 2 case reports involving facial and bilateral palatal manifestation.
