Abstract
Talon cusp is a very rare developmental anomaly, arising as a cusp like elevation on the lingual aspect of maxillary or mandibular anterior
teeth, usually projects from the cemento-enamel junction or cingulum. It can involve single tooth, either primary or permanent dentition,
usually unilateral in occurrence and seen bilaterally in 1/5th of the cases. It can result in a host of clinical problems like occlusal interference,
irritation of the tongue, pulpal necrosis, caries, TMJ disorders and periodontal problems. The prevalence of multiple, bilateral talon cusp
occurrence is rare, we report a case of Multiple Talon cusps involving all maxillary anterior teeth.
