Rare Coexistence of Erupting Supernumerary Tooth, Talon Cusp, and Bifid Roots in a 10-Year-Old Child: A Case Report

Abstract Background: Bifid roots in the mandibular anterior region are exceedingly rare, and their simultaneous occurrence with a talon cusp and erupting supernumerary tooth is virtually unreported. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old boy presented with a protruding maxillary incisor. Clinical examination revealed a talon cusp on the maxillary left central incisor. Radiographic evaluation, including OPG, identified a palatally located supernumerary tooth and bifid roots in mandibular incisors. Conclusion: This is a unique triad of dental anomalies. Meticulous clinical and radiographic assessment is essential for timely detection and coordinated treatment planning.
