Palatogingival Groove -The Hidden Predator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The radicular lingual grooves act as a nidus for plaque accumulation which destroys the sulcular epithelium and the periodontium, resulting in the formation of a localized periodontal lesion. If inflammation spreads to the pulp through defects in the groove, a primary periodontic/secondary endodontic lesion develops.Successful treatment of the groove depends on the ability to eradicate inflammatory irritants, by eliminating the groove and managing the associated periodontal defect. This is a case report of an incisor with a palatogingival groove associated with an infrabony defect and its successful management using an interdisciplinary approach.

Palatogingival grooves are developmental malformations quite notorious for precipitating endodontic - periodontal lesions. Owing to their inconspicuous occurrence, funnel-shaped morphology and variable extent on tooth root, they promote adherence of plaque and bacteria to levels significant for the development of pathology. Several treatment approaches have been recognized in literature for the...

Radicular groove are one among the morphologic defects of the teeth, which have been reported as predisposing factors for periodontal disease. Palatogingival grooves may be of varied length and depth and once exposed to oral environment, bacterial plaque and calcified deposits may lodge in it. It acts as a plaque retentive area, and also impairs attachment of periodontal fibers, thus causing pe...

Palatogingival groove (PGG) is an anomaly in the maxillary anterior teeth, often accompanied by the area of bony destruction adjacent to the teeth with no carious or traumatic history. The hidden trap in the tooth can harbor plaque and bacteria, resulting in periodontal destruction with or without pulpal pathologic change. Related diseases can involve periodontal destruction, combined endodonti...

A palatogingival groove is an anatomic malformation that predisposes the involved tooth to a severe periodontal defect. When the condition is complicated by pulpal necrosis, affected teeth often present a dilemma in terms of diagnosis and treatment planning. In this report, we describe the case of a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove extending to the root...
