Evaginated odontome or talon cusp is an uncommon dental anomaly with accessory cusp-like projection arising from the cingulum area of the maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth. This anomalous cusp resembles an eagle's talon and hence the name. It occurs in both the primary and the permanent dentition. The presence of talon cusp on the lingual surfaces of primary permanent teeth is considered to be pathognomic, but the case reported here is an unusual case which is present in the facial aspect in a female patient. As per the existing literature only seven case reports of facial talon in permanent maxillary teeth have been reported.

Facial talon cusp in a mesiodens: A rare occurrence

Supernumerary teeth are the ones which are extra in comparison to the normal dentition. The most common type of supernumerary, which is reported is mesiodens which is seen between maxillary central incisors. The supernumerary teeth may be associated with a syndrome or can be seen in nonsyndromic cases too. Talon cusp also known as Eagle's Talon is an accessory cusp like structure or an extra cusp on an anterior tooth, which is usually present in the palatal aspect of teeth. The association of mesiodens with a talon cusp is a rare occurrence itself. Here, we report a case of a facial talon cusp in a mesiodens in an 8-year-old male child, which is quite rare.

Talon cusps - functional solution: a case report

Talon cusp is a rare dental anomaly that occurs more frequently in maxillary incisors and is defined as a projection in the area of the cincture of anterior teeth that extends from the cemento-enamel junction or the region of the cincture, following towards the incisal face. An eight-year-old female patient was referred to the University of Ribeirão Preto Pediatric Dentistry Clinic (UNAERP) with suspicion of a supernumerary tooth on the palatal surface of tooth 12. During clinical and radiographic examination she found the presence of a conical-shaped enamel projection that presented a communication with the tooth 12 cincture and was thus classified as a talon cusp. Initially, prophylaxis and removal of the accumulated bacterial plaque were performed, verification of premature contact with paper for the joint and wear with a spherical diamond tip. FluroShield sealant was then applied following an adhesive protocol indicated by the manufacturer. After the necessary occlusal adjustments were made. 30 days later, the patient returned for clinical follow-up, reconversion and repolishing of the sealant. The talon cusp was diagnosed as Type I because it is morphologically well delineated and protrudes prominently from the palatal surface and extends at least halfway from the cemento-enamel junction to the incisal edge. It is recommended to seal the deep grooves to prevent caries. We can conclude that a rigorous clinical and radiographic examination leading to an early and accurate diagnosis is of extreme importance for the adoption of an adequate treatment.
