Abstract

Periodontal and endodontic infections are interrelated and most common during routine dental practice. Palatogingival groove, a morphological anomaly usually reported on the palatal aspect of maxillary incisors, cause periodontal attachment loss and alveolar bone destruction and finally tooth loss. Unknown etiology was reported for the developmental defect, develops in to pathological condition only when the there is a discontinuity in the epithelial attachment. Early diagnosis and proper selection of therapeutic modalities helps in preservation of involved tooth. Milder cases were treated by saucerization, odontoplasty and strict oral hygiene maintenance protocol. Moderate case was treated by open flap debridement, regenerative applications such as bone graft and membrane placement. PGG restored using various restorative material and seal the morphology. Clinical diagnosis become unnoticed in most cases, hence proper diagnosis and therapeutic interventions are of prime importance in PGG management.
