| Description | The authors followed the occurrence and complications of Talon cusp in patients treated by orthodontics. There were 698 patients under treatment. Talon cusp was noted in four patients prevalence was 0,57 %. The authors discuss the appearance of the talon cusp on X-ray picture and a possibility to confuse it for a superfluous shape in not yet erupted teeth. They also indicate that this shape anomaly causes a delayed eruption of the affected tooth, often into an abnormal position. |
