Abstract
Talon cusp and Dens invaginatus are tooth shape anomalies, their co-occurrence in a single tooth is rare. They are often incidental findings found during routine clinical and radiographic examinations. The patient is usually unaware of this condition unless detected radiographically. As maxillary lateral incisors are the teeth most susceptible to coronal invaginations and talon cusp these teeth should be investigated thoroughly. Early diagnosis is mandatory to instigate preventive treatment otherwise it might result in pulpal involvement necessitating more definitive treatment. We present here a case of bilateral coronal Dens invaginatus and true Talon treated prophylactically.
