Objectives: Enamel pearl (EP) is an ectopic growth of enamel that is generally round and white and it firmly adheres to the external root surface of tooth. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and imaging features of enamel pearls (EPs) and to investigate the potential relationship between EP and supernumerary tooth.
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 1003 patients were evaluated for the presence of EP.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional films and direct digital radiographs (DDR), in the determination of the depth and type of simulated periodontal intrabony defects.
Materials And Methods: Three types of periodontal intrabony defects (one, two, and three walled) were artificially created in dry mandibles. Standard radiographic images were taken with Ultraspeed, Ektaspeed, Insight films, and DDR.
Aim: To present a case of expansive focal cemento-osseous dysplasia and emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis.
Background: Cemento-osseous dysplasia is categorized into three subtypes on the basis of the clinical and radiographic features: Periapical, focal and florid. The focal type exhibits a single site of involvement in any tooth-bearing or edentulous area of the jaws.
