Clinical Significance of Talon Cusp in a Mixed Dentition Patient.

Talon cusp is a developmental dental anomaly with supernumerary structure projecting from the dento-enamel junction towards the incisal edge of an anterior tooth. The etiology is usually unknown but studies states that talons cusp can occur due to the hyperactivity of the enamel organ during morph differentiation. The incidence is 0.

Distally Edentulous Maxillary Left-Sided Arch with Pneumatized Sinus Area Restored with Corticobasal Implants - A Case Report.

Restoration of severely atrophied ridges with conventional implants requires extensive surgical procedures which are totally expensive, and it also involves a great deal of postoperative discomfort to a patient. In such situations, basal implants come to rescue for rehabilitation where it utilizes the cortical bone for anchorage. The availability of several designs of these implants that exist today has made basal implantology flexible enough to accommodate any situation.
