Prabhu K.M. Veena Laxmikanth Chatra Prashanth Shenai Journal Article 2010 11 23 2011 03 16 Talon cusp is a dental anomaly also known as an eagle’s talon. It is an extra cusp on an anterior tooth which arises as a re-sult of evagination on the surface of a crown before calcification has occurred. The exact etiology is unknown. The inci-dence of talon cusp is less than 6%. Commonly involved teeth are maxillary incisors, usually unilateral but in some in-stances bilateral. The classical radiographical feature of talon cusp is double teeth appearance. The anomaly has been re-ported to be unusual in the mandibular dentition. This article reports an unusual case of talon cusp of permanent mandibular central incisors.
