Talon cusp affecting the primary maxillary central incisors: report of case.
The shape of the cusp, in this dental anomaly, resembles an eagle's talon, and cusp length may vary--sometimes extending beyond the incisal edge of the tooth. This report describes a case in which both primary maxillary central incisors were affected, in a one-year-old Hispanic male.
