Navode se moguća etiologija, prevalencija, klasifi kacija, klinička i radiološka obilježja ove anomalije te načini liječenja.Talon cusp is an accessory cusp-like structure projecting from the tooth neck or cingulum area towards the incisal ridge of an anterior tooth. Both primary and permanent dentition are involved, and both sexes. This paper reviews the literature and presents a case of the talon cusp on the lingual surface of the maxillary lateral incisor in a male patient.
