Abstract

Palatogingival groove is an anatomic malformation commonly occurring in maxillary lateral incisors. It frequently goes undetected andis often associated with complex Periodontic-endodontic lesions. Palatogingival groove harbour microbial plaque and cause pathological changes thereby resulting in lesions involving the periodonto-pulpal complex. This case report presents a complex perio-endo lesion associated with a palatogingival groove in maxillary lateral incisor which was successfully managed with both endodontic and regenerative periodontal therapy with the use of injectable platelet rich fibrin (iPRF).
