Abstract
This paper reviews the nomenclature, prevalence, definition, etiology, association with other dental anomalies, diagno-sis and treatment planning of talon cusp in the primary anterior teeth. Most of the reported cases have involved the pri-mary maxillary central incisors. However, talon cusps on the primary maxillary lateral incisors are associated with high percentages of anomalies in the permanent successors. This paper reported three such rare cases and dentists should be aware of such additional anomalies.
