Abstract

Palatogingival groove (PGG) is an anomaly in the maxillary anterior teeth, often accompanied by the area of bony destruction adjacent to the teeth with no carious or traumatic history. Related consequences involve periodontal destruction, separate or combined endodontic and periodontic lesions. Disease severity and prognosis related to PGG depend on several factors, including location, range, depth, and type of groove. Literature shows several studies with proper management and favorable treatment outcome. In Vietnam, there is yet any study about PGG and its related problems. Our report will summarize the current literature to provide understandings of the characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of PGG to successfully manage the condition.
