  • Title: Dental anomaly: dens evaginatus (talon cusp).
    Author: Ferraz JA, de Carvalho Júnior JR, Saquy PC, Pécora JD, Sousa-Neto MD.
    Journal: Braz Dent J; 2001; 12(2):132-4. PubMed ID: 11445915.
    Abstract:
    Dens evaginatus is a developmental anomaly characterized by the occurrence of an extra cusp shaped as a tubercle projecting from the palatal or buccal surfaces (talon cusp). In the anterior dentition, dens evaginatus is more commonly found in the maxilla and on the palatal surface of the tooth. The authors present a case of dens evaginatus in a maxillary central incisor, in which the evagination was removed and routine endodontic treatment was performed.
