Abstract

The aetiological factors related to many dental anomalies are still uncertain. Clinical descriptive terms may be useful in communications. This paper describes a previously unreported case of dental anomaly exhibited as bilateral double teeth associated with a talon cusp. The clinical variants related to crown numbers and forms are also discussed.
