Abstract :

The region of maxillary lateral incisor is an area of emyological importance with developmental malformations such as gemination, fusion, cysts, dens in dente, peg laterals, talon cusps, supernumerary roots and palatogingival groove. Palatogingival groove is a developmental groove in a root and is usually found on the palatal aspect of maxillary incisor teeth. It is commonly associated with periodontal defects and subsequently leads to perio–endo lesions. Here in this case series we are going to discuss about the cases with palatogingival groove and its management.
