This article reports an uncommon case of talon cusp on a geminated permanent maxillary central incisor, including details of the clinical and radiographic findings and treatment. A 28-year-old woman presented at the university dental clinic, and intraoral examination revealed a maxillary central incisor of abnormal size with a prominent accessory cusp on the lingual aspect. The case was diagnosed as talon cusp on a geminated tooth. Early diagnosis of this anomaly is important since it may cause clinical problems such as esthetic concerns, caries and tooth crowding. In the present case, these anomalies did not complicate the subsequent endodontic treatment. (J Oral Sci 51, 297-300, 2009)
