ABSTRACT

This case report describes a two year follow-up study of a palatogingival groove on maxillary lateral incisor which extended till the apical third of the root. The groove was treated using a tapered fissure diamond bur followed by Glass Ionomer restoration on same. A crater like defect which was noted upon reflection of flap was filled using a synthetic alloplast hydroxyapetite bone graft material. Timely diagnosis and a combined treatment approach involving saucerization & regeneration procedure allowed salvaging the tooth.
