  • Title: Management of supplemental permanent maxillary lateral incisors in association with talon cusp on the primary predecessors: a report of 3 cases.
    Author: Lee CK, King NM, Lo EC, Cho SY.
    Journal: J Dent Child (Chic); 2008; 75(1):59-63. PubMed ID: 18505650.
    Abstract:
    Most of the cases of talon cusp in the primary dentition affected the maxillary central incisors, but have no effect on the permanent successors. Among the 5 cases of a talon cusp in primary maxillary lateral incisors reported in the dental literature, however, one was associated with a supernumerary tooth and 3 with supplemental permanent successors. The purpose of this report was to describe 3 cases of a talon cusp on the primary maxillary lateral incisors of Chinese children, all of which were associated with talon teeth or the permanent successors. A conservative approach was used to manage these supplemental permanent lateral incisors, and the advantages of such an approach are discussed.
