“…Anatomically, the upper arch incisors usually present the palatal gingival groove (lateral: 4.40% and central: 0.28%) 54) , which is considered to be a risk area for periodontal disease 15) , since the groove may provide a niche for plaque and bacteria difficult to access during scaling. Therefore, the probability of early tooth loss is higher in the upper arch than in the lower arch incisors 17) .…”

The aim of the present cross-sectional investigation was to evaluate percentage of bone loss in patients who had been one year under periodontal maintenance at the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of São Paulo by radiographic analysis.Complete sets of periapical radiographs provided data regarding percentage of alveolar bone loss, which was correlated with arches, tooth group and proximal sites. The sample consisted of 27 men and 53 women ranging in age from 16 to 85 years (mean: 48.3 years). A total of 1,120 periapical radiographs (1,970 teeth) were digitized and analyzed with the Image Tool ® software (University of Texas Health Science Center). Bone loss was defined as when the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest was greater than 2 mm. Two examiners (pϽ0.0001) performed radiographic measurements of bone loss.The Greenhouse-Geisser normality test and a univariate analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis.Mean bone loss was 20.60% ‫.)21.21ע(‬ The highest level of bone loss was observed on the distal surface and in the upper arch, as well as in the upper incisors and molars.

“…Periodontal probing is recommended and deep isolated periodontal pocket is found out. Moreover, grooves may be visible on a periapical radiograph as one or more dark lines extending along the length of the root, parallel to or superimposed over the root canal; these have been termed "parapulpal lines" 5) . In the present cases, this line was observed in periapical radiographs, and this helped us with detecting these grooves.…”

“…Ennes and Lara suggested that the palatal groove could be the result of an alteration of genetic mechanisms 4) . The anomaly has been termed the radicular anomaly 3) , distolingual groove 5) , radicular lingual groove 6) , palatoradicular groove 7) , radicular groove 8) and cinguloradicular groove 9) . As the name implies, this malformation is actually a groove, which starts near the cingulum of the tooth and runs towards the cementoenamel junction in an apical direction at various depths and distances along the root surface.…”

This report describes clinical cases of a palato-gingival groove on a maxillary lateral incisor with associated localized periodontal disease and pulp necrosis. The tooth of the first case was extracted because of severe bone destruction. The palato-gingival groove of the second case was eliminated using a round bur, and the resulting defect was filled with synthetic graft and covered by an absorbable membrane. Both diagnosis and treatment of palato-gingival groove were very difficult and usually extraction of the involved tooth is the treatment of choice, but combined endodontic-periodontic treatment allowed the tooth to be saved.
