This case report discusses the successful management of a deep palatal developmental groove associated with Stage III generalized Grade C periodontitis. Despite prior nonsurgical periodontal therapy, the disease progressed rapidly, necessitating further intervention. A comprehensive evaluation revealed generalized periodontitis with localized tooth-related predisposing factor due to a developmental groove in the vital upper left lateral incisor.

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) in the repair of tissue defects in the head and neck region. TPFF is a preferred method among surgeons due to its thin and flexible structure and its strong vascular structure supplied by the superficial temporal artery. In the study, the operations performed on a total of 21 patients and the results of these operations were analyzed.

A preferred option among many surgeons for treating large defects in the head and neck area is reconstruction using autologous tissue, particularly free tissue transfer with microvascular anastomosis. However, some defects cannot be resolved with conventional microvascular techniques or algorithmic approaches. In this case study, a 55-year-old female, who previously underwent bypass surgery for Moyamoya disease, presented with a large scalp defect following surgical necrosis.
