Abstract

POTGIETER, N; DAVIDSON, C  and  MIDDLETON, I. Minimally invasive management of a labial talon cusp: Clinical review and case report. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2019, vol.74, n.9, pp.491-495. ISSN 0375-1562.  https://doi.org/10.17159/2519-0105/2019/v74no9a3.

This case report presents the management of a rare occurrence of a labial talon cusp on a permanent maxillary lateral incisor. The buccal projection was reduced with a minimally invasive approach, with the aim of avoiding pulpal exposure during tooth preparation and thereby maintaining the vitality of the pulp. A direct resin veneer was placed to mask the remaining projection and to address the aesthetic concerns of the patient.

Keywords : Labial Talon cusp; buccal projection; maxillary lateral incisor.
