          Abstract

          Gemination with talon cusps is an uncommon morphologic dental anomaly, characterized by the formation of clinically wide tooth that can cause significant aesthetic and clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries susceptibility, and tooth crowding. These morphological dental anomalies have specific treatment needs due to the abnormal morphology and need virtuous radiologic diagnosis. Multidisciplinary approach can supply success of the treatment plan that can provide esthetic and occlusal requirements. In this case report, the multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of geminated tooth with talon cusp is presented with the clinical and radiographic findings.

          Bilateral fusion and gemination: a literature analysis and case report.

          M Helpin, W. Colin Duncan (1987)
          The dental literature concerning the bilateral presentation of fusion and gemination is reviewed and analyzed. Tables are presented to show the prevalence and distribution of these anomalies in both the primary and permanent dentitions. In addition, the first prevalence statistics for the bilateral occurrence of fusion and gemination in the primary and permanent dentitions are determined. The first case of bilateral fusion of mandibular primary incisors to be reported in 13 years is presented. The presence of all four succedaneous incisors and the diagnosis of bilateral fusion are confirmed radiographically. The developmental concerns and possible sequelae of bilateral fusion and gemination are also discussed.

            Bilateral fusion of mandibular second molars with supernumerary teeth: case report.

            Eduardo Nunes, Ivaldo Gomes de Moraes, Elke P L M de Grouw … (2001)
            Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. In this article we report a rare case of bilateral fusion of permanent mandibular second molars with supernumerary teeth. The rarity with which this entity appears, along with its complex characteristics, often make it difficult to treat. The endodontic management of one tooth is described, as well as the successful treatment of a periradicular lesion.

              Talon's cusp: report of four unusual cases.

              O Tulunoglu, D Cankala, R Ozdemir (2007)
              Talon cusp is a developmental dental anomaly thought to arise as a result of evagination on the surface of a tooth crown before calcification has occurred. The etiology remains unknown. The incidence is 0.04-10%. Any tooth may have a talon cusp but most of the cases involve maxillary lateral incisors, with some instances of bilateral involvement. The anomaly has been reported to be rare in the mandible. This article reports four cases of talon cusp. The first and the second cases describe bilateral involvement of talon cusp on palatal surfaces of maxillary primary centrals; in the third case talon tubercle occurs on palatal surfaces of both maxillary permanent lateral incisors and the maxillary left central incisor and in the last case a talon cusp in the lingual surface of mandibular permanent lateral incisor.
