Abstract
Abstract: Dens evaginatus is a developmental anomaly that is observed as additional tuberculate cusp on the palatal surface of incisor teeth (talon cusp) or the occlusal surface of molar teeth. This additional cusp consists of enamel, dentin, and usually pulp. A 9-year-old boy presented with a talon cusp on the palatal surface of maxillary left lateral incisor. The clinical and radiographic appearance and treatment procedure are provided in this study. Early diagnosis of talon cusp and seal of its developmental fissurecan help preventing caries and pulp involvement. Hence, dentist’s awareness of clinical and radiographic appearance and appropriate treatment of this anomaly is of utmost importance. Keywords: Talon Cusp; Dens Evaginatus; Caries, occlusal.
