Abstract

The radicular groove is a developmental anomaly that predisposes the tooth to periodontal break-down. Sometimes the situation gets more complicated by pulp necrosis and development of a combined endodontic-periodontal lesion which is a challenge for the clinician from diagnostic and treatment point of view. This report presents the successful management of an endodontic-periodontal lesion in a maxillary lateral incisor with palatal radicular groove using a combination of nonsurgical endodontic therapy and periodontal regenerative techniques. Conclusion: The combination of nonsurgical endodontic and periodontal regenerative treatment is a predictable method in treating combined endodontic-periodontal lesions caused by palato-gingival groove. © 2016, Iranian Association of Endodontics.
