title: Endodontic treatment of a mature tooth with an abnormal clinical crown.
abstract: In this report, a case of a mature tooth with abnormal crown morphology, which created plaque retentive areas was presented. The pulp was necrosed due to the periodontal disease, and the anomaly was thought to be an aberration of a talon cusp. Therapy involved the reshaping and the endodontic treatment of tooth.
