A rare case of talon cusp on geminated permanent central incisor is described. These developmental anomalies
cause clinical problems including unsightly dental appearance, occlusal interference, displacement of the affected
tooth, attrition, periodontopathy, irritation of the tongue, loss of space and malocclusion. Clinical and radiographic
characteristics of these anomalies and modes of treatment are presented. Recognition of this condition and early
diagnosis are important to avoid complications.
