Abstract
Observations regarding the incidence of enamel pearls in random samples of 7088 extracted teeth in Mid-Dalmatia were carried out. Enamel pearls were noticed in maxillary and mandiibulary molars in 38 cases (1.13%). Mean size of anamel pearls was 1.7 mm in diameter, and in most cases they were situated on the cervical third on mesio or disto-aproximal root surfaces. Double pearls were found in 7 cases (0.21%).
