Enamel pearl

A developmental abnormality that results in a small localized mass of enamel formed apical to a tooth’s cementoenamel junction. It is frequently found in the bifurcation of molar teeth.


Small rounded globules of highly mineralized material seen near or attached to the enamel margin or furcation of the tooth roots. These are formed by aberrant ameloblasts and hypermineralization.
