Abstract

Aim: To report a rare case of primary lateral incisor with Talon’s cusp and gemination. Background: Developmental anomalies are a rare finding in primary dentition. Of these to find two dental anomalies in a single tooth is sparse. Gemination and talons cusp has been reported in permanent and primary dentition, but only a few case reports are there of a geminated primary maxillary lateral incisor with talon’s cusp. Case Description: A 5-year-old boy with a geminated primary maxillary lateral incisor with talon cusp. Talon cusp was reduced and pit and fissure sealants were placed in the grooves on palatal side and buccal surface was restored with composite. Conclusion: Dental anomalies should always be identified and treated promptly to reduce the complication arising out of the anomaly. Clinical Significance: There exists only one case report of a primary maxillary lateral incisors in the literature at present as far as we are aware this is the second case of such a finding.
