Background Talon cusp usually refers to the abnormal cusp‐like protrusion on labial/facial or lingual/palatal surface of anterior teeth, and the labial one is rarely seen. Labial talon cusps might be associated with caries susceptibility, occlusal interference, and esthetic problems. Here we showed the treatment process of a facial talon cusp and followed it for 1.5 years. Case Report We report a case with a labial small triangular projection on the right maxillary permanent central incisor of an 8‐year‐old girl, which was diagnosed as Stage 1 talon cusp according to Mayes classification and consequently treated by grinding and flowable resin restoration, achieving satisfactory appearance and maintaining vitality of the pulp. One and a half years′ follow‐up showed the tooth developed well. Conclusions The present paper demonstrates the clinical management of a facial talon cusp emphasizing minimally invasive and preventive principles. Furthermore, we summarize and propose the therapeutic strategy of labial talon cusp to offer increasing understanding according to a total of 20 cases reporting 26 labial talon cusps searched from the PubMed/Web of Science.
