Abstract : AIM: To report on the successful conservative management of three patients having a talon cusp with pulpal involvement using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).SUMMARY: Mineral trioxide aggregate was used to induce hard-tissue formation following the direct pulp capping of a resected talon cusp in three cases.KEY LEARNING POINTS: • Talon cusp is an odontogenic anomaly which can cause occlusal interferences, displacement of the affected tooth, caries-susceptible developmental grooves and speech difficulties • Direct pulp capping using MTA following the resection of a talon cusp is a suitable treatment option.
