Facial Talon Cusp: An Uncommon Odontogenic Anomaly of the Central Incisor

An unusual dental deformity known as a talon cusp can be described by an extra cusp similar projection in anterior tooth, reaching the incisal border at least halfway from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Typically found on palatal or lingual surfaces, they can occasionally appear on the facial surface. This anomaly may occur alone or with other dental irregularities, affecting aesthetics, caries management, and function. Regular monitoring is essential for preventing complications. We present a rarely seen instance of a labial talon cusp on the maxillary central incisor in 13 y/o boy concerned about the unusual shape of the front tooth.
