ABSTRACT
This case report focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of a maxillary lateral incisor affected by a talon cusp, a rare developmental dental anomaly. The case presented with irreversible pulpitis and an immature apex. The article discusses the prevalence, etiology, classification, and treatment options for talon cusps, highlighting their clinical significance and potential complications. Clinical and radiographic findings obtained from a periapical radiograph and a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan are outlined. The treatment approach involved the removal of the talon cusp, endodontic therapy including apexification with mineral trioxide aggregate, and aesthetic restoration of the tooth. The report underscores the value of precise diagnosis, careful treatment planning, and the utility of CBCT scans in effectively managing talon cusps.
