Abstract

Talon cusp is a well delineated anomalous structure located on the surface of an anterior tooth. The exact etiology is unknown. Lingual talon cusps are widely reported but literature reports of facial talon cusps are few & mainly unilateral. Bilateral labial talon cusps have been reported, but only on mandibular teeth. This case documents a rare case of an isolated developmental abnormality of bilateral labial talon cusps on permanent maxillary central incisors in an 8year old girl.
