Abstract
Talon cusp is an accessory cusp similar to a projection, extending from the cingulum or cemento-enamel junction to the
incisal edge. It occurs on labial or palatal surfaces of primary or permanent anterior teeth in both arches. This accessory
cusp can occur as an isolated entity or in association with other dental anomalies. Occurrence of a talon cusp on supernumerary
teeth is rare and uncommon. This paper reports an unusual case of a talon cusp on a supernumerary tooth in association
with mesiodens.
