A Rare Concomitant Occurrence of Talon Cusp in Fused Mandibular Permanent Teeth: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

ABSTRACT Fusions of teeth and talon cusp are two rare developmental dental anomalies, affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Both the anomalies are mostly reported as isolated finding and are rarely associated with other dental anomalies. Talon cusp is more common in maxillary anterior teeth in permanent dentition and fusion is commonly reported in mandibular teeth in primary dentition. The concomitant occurrence of talon cusp and fusion is rare and its occurrence in fused mandibular permanent teeth is also rare. This case report presents two unusual cases of concomitant occurrence of talon cusp with fusion in permanent mandibular incisors. The clinical problems associated with these dental anomalies and importance of their management are discussed in these case reports. How to cite this article Goswami M, Jangra B.
