“…On the other hand, Bettley and Ward were the first to relate the presence of palmar and plantar pits with this syndrome. Nevertheless, it was not until 1960 when Robert James Gorlin and William Goltz established classical triad that characterizes the diagnosis of this syndrome (multiple basocellular epitheliomas, keratocysts in the jaws and bifid ribs [2]. Later this triad was modified by Rayner et al, who established that cysts had to appear simultaneously, either with calcifications of the falx cerebri, or with palmar and plantar pits, in order to arrive at a diagnosis [3].…”

Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome (GGS) also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Is characterized for presenting some clinical features such as palmar pits, fused eyebrows, multiple odontogenic keratocyst, which are considered some of the most common signs. In our case, a rare familial case highlights awareness when a member of the family is diagnosed with this condition, and the probability to find in one the first degree relative. Once again it is confirmed that is impossible to determine without the radiographical analysis such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), ortophantomography, magnetic resonance imaging, to corroborate with clinical aspects, advising that, this could be the best way for the sake of patients benefit. Many treatments less aggressive have been proposed along the years, with a lower percentage of success against the traditional way, specifically surgical enucleation/marsupialization combined with peripheral osteotomy, in order to approach the variable behavior of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. The early diagnosis is considered the key to well manage this kind of disease, due to its aggressiveness, potential to become malignant, and in some cases, with a silent destructive pattern.

Talon cusp is a rare dental anomaly in which a cusp-like structure projects from the cingulum area or cementoenamel junction of the maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth. This unusual cusp resembles the talon of an eagle. It can be found in both the primary and permanent dentitions. A comprehensive literature study reveals that only 37 examples of talon cusps in the primary dentition have been described, with only 3 cases reporting this anomaly on the primary maxillary lateral incisor. We present a male patient with cleft lip and palate having primary lateral incisor talon cusp. The clinical implications of this anomaly, as well as the dispute over its etiology, are reviewed.
