Talon cusp is a rare odontogenic developmental anomaly with male predilection and multifactorial etiology. It projects as an accessory cusp-like structure from the cingulum area or the cement enamel junction (CEJ) affecting both primary and permanent dentition. It is imperative to clinically examine the developing dentition for occlusal harmony, especially in children with this anomaly. This report highlights facial cellulitis as a complication arising from a type I taloned maxillary lateral incisor and its endodontic management in a female pediatric patient. It emphasizes the clinical significance, early diagnosis, and prompt prophylactic management of the talon cusp so as to prevent the development of acute sequelae in children.
畸形中央尖是一种罕见的牙源性发育异常，男性多见，病因多因素。它从切牙乳头区或牙骨质釉质界（CEJ）突出，形成类似额外牙尖的结构，影响乳牙和恒牙列。临床上必须检查发育中的牙列，以确保咬合协调，尤其是患有这种异常的儿童。本报告强调了面部蜂窝织炎作为Ⅰ型上颌侧切牙畸形中央尖的一种并发症，以及在一名女性儿科患者中的牙髓治疗。它强调了畸形中央尖的临床意义、早期诊断和及时的预防性处理，以防止儿童出现急性后遗症。
