Talon cusp is a rare developmental anomaly that occurs predominantly on palatal surface of maxillary incisors with varied prevalence in different populations. Its presence causes the problem in esthetics, prevention of caries and occlusal accommodation for the patient and problems in the diagnosis and clinical management for the dentist. This article reports a case of talon cusp on the palatal surface of the primary maxillary lateral incisor in a three year old girl patient.
