Abstract
Talon cusp is an uncommon odontogenic anomaly. Due
 to its resemblance to an eagle’s talon, it was named as “talon
 cusp”. Talon cusps occur most commonly on palatal surfaces
 of permanent incisors. Bilateral and bifacial talon cusp is an
 extremely rare occurrence.
 The etiology of talon cusps remains unknown, though it
 is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental
 factors, developmentally result of an outfolding of the enamel
 organ or hyperproductivity of the dental lamina.
 Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly which is
 formed byfolding the enamel-dental organ through the pulp
 chamber during the teeth development. In this case, bilateral
 talon tubercle and bifacial talon tubercle with dens invaginatus
 in the same tooth was reported.
