Abstract

The clinical significance of Palatoradicular Groove (PRG) is related to the incidence of localized periodontitis with or without pulpal pathosis, depending on the depth, extent and complexity of the groove. This report describes the various treatment modalities in the management of chronic localized periodontitis associated with PRG on maxillary lateral incisors. From eliminating the groove to placement of bone graft and platelet rich fibrin in the osseous defect, resulted in an uneventful healing and the tooth continued to serve well.
