A developmental anomaly like cervical enamel projection is a rare finding in the

type of anomaly is typically found in the furcation region of molars. The case report

its management. A 18 year old male presented with pronounced bilobed cingulum
extending as a cervical enamel projection on the maxillary right lateral incisor

regenerative procedure was performed. The possible etiology, its management and
healing evaluated by CBCT are presented in this report. One year follow up showed
satisfactory healing with no recurrence of abscess.
