This paper presents a rare case of bilateral talon cusp in permanent maxillary central incisors, one on the labial and another on the lingual surface of each tooth. The condition was associated with dens invaginatus in a maxillary permanent lateral incisor, but no developmental syndrome was identified. The left central incisor required no treatment because the aesthetic appearance was satisfactory and neither occlusal interferences nor caries were present. After careful investigation of the right lateral incisor, a sealant was applied. Root canal treatment was indicated for the right central incisor that had a wide open apex with thin, weak, divergent walls, and an apical radiolucency.
本文介绍了一例罕见的双侧上颌恒中切牙出现爪状尖的病例,每颗牙的唇面和舌面各有一个。该病例与上颌恒侧切牙的牙内陷有关,但未发现发育综合征。左侧中切牙无需治疗,因为其美观外观令人满意,且不存在咬合干扰和龋齿。对右侧侧切牙进行仔细检查后,应用了窝沟封闭剂。右侧中切牙因根尖孔宽大、壁薄且薄弱、有分歧,以及根尖透射区,需要进行根管治疗。
