Int J Paediatr Dent. 1997 Dec;7(4):259-62. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-263x.1997.00052.x.

Abstract

This is a report of two patients with isolated facial talon cusps. One occurred on a permanent mandibular central incisor; the other on a permanent maxillary canine. The locations of these talon cusps suggests that the definition of a talon cusp include teeth in addition to the incisor group and be extended to include the facial aspect of teeth.
