Talon cusp is a morphologically well-delineated accessory cusp-like anomalous structure projecting from the cingulum area or cementoenamel junction, extending at least half the distance to incisal edge of anterior teeth. Maxillary lateral incisors are commonly affected by this condition in permanent dentition while mandibular talon cusps are very rare. This case report presents two unique cases of mandibular talons on the permanent central incisors.
