A talon cusp is a dental anomaly commonly occurring in the permanent dentition compared to the primary dentition. It commonly affects the maxillary anterior teeth. In primary dentition, the most commonly affected tooth is the maxillary central incisors. This is a rare case report of a 5-year-old male patient with a talon cusp affecting the mandibular primary lateral incisor. Recognition and treatment of this anomaly at early stages is important to avoid complications.
畸形中央尖是一种常见于恒牙列而非乳牙列的牙齿异常。它通常影响上颌前牙。在乳牙列中,最常受影响的牙齿是上颌中切牙。这是一例罕见的病例报告,一名5岁男性患者的畸形中央尖影响到了下颌乳侧切牙。早期识别和治疗这种异常对于避免并发症很重要。
