Abstract

Palatoradicular groove is a rare developmental anomaly which is usually found on the palatal aspect of maxillary anterior teeth. The groove when left undiagnosed will usually be associated with deep local periodontal pathology. This case report discusses the elimination of periodontal pathology caused by a shallow palatoradicular groove which acted as nidus and regeneration of lost periodontium using bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration with improved clinical outcome.
