Literature shows various case reports and prevalence studies on mesiodens which is a type of supernumerary tooth occurring in the midline of the maxillary or mandibular arch between two central incisors. It may occur in both primary and permanent dentition and characterized by various morphology. Talon cusp is an anomaly of the tooth shape and numerous reports on different shapes and sizes are evident. The present article shows occurrence of a triple labial talon cusp in the maxillary midline mesiodens which makes a unique expression and not reported so far in the dental anomalies’ literature. This manuscript also provides a new insight pertaining to definition and classification system for talon cusp. Therefore, the present case highlights the pioneer case record of triple labial talon cusp in a mesiodens associated with another dental anomaly.
