Abstract

Periodontal disease is multifactorial in nature and while planning treatment for the same it becomes essential to find the exact etiology of the disease. Ectopic enamel formation or enamel pearl is one such developmental anomaly which can result in persistence of periodontal pockets as it acts as a nidus for plaque accumulation and interferes with patient oral hygiene. This calls for a proper diagnosis of such anomalies which although are uncommon, require adequate intervention to aid in providing periodontal therapy and its maintenance.
