Talon cusp is a rare developmental anomaly that occurs most commonly on the lingual side of the incisors. Occurrence of the labial talon cusp is rare in the dental literature. Till date only seven cases of isolated nonsyndromic labial talon cusps have been reported in the maxillary permanent dentition. However, a few cases of syndromic labial talon cusps and faciolingual talon cusps have been reported. The aim of our report is to highlight clinical and radiological features of this rare anomaly.
爪状尖是一种罕见的发育异常，最常见于切牙的舌侧。唇侧爪状尖在牙科文献中较为罕见。迄今为止，上颌恒牙列中仅报道了7例孤立的非综合征性唇侧爪状尖病例。然而，也有一些综合征性唇侧爪状尖和颊舌侧爪状尖的病例报道。我们报告的目的是突出这种罕见异常的临床和影像学特征。
