In order to clarify the prognosis of intentional replantation used for palatogingival groove treatment for long-term follow-up observation, the case of a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor with palatogingival groove was investigated. The intentional replantation was carried out to preserve the tooth. The periodontal pocket and the apical bone defect were almost completely repaired at 12-month follow-up. However, the infection was reoccurred after 25-month follow-up examinations. The infected tooth was extracted, of which the root was investigated by histological analysis. Therefore, the reason of the replant failure and the pathways of bacterial infection was investigated. Palatogingival groove, intentional tooth replantation, bacterial infection, maxillary lateral incisor.

Palatogingival groove (PGG) is a common developmental deformity, which is prone to retain plaque, leading to local periodontal inflammation. Furthermore, the infection can spread to the dental pulp tissue through the PGG, eventually resulting in combined periodontal-endodontic lesions. The treatment methods include PGG treatment, periodontal treatment, endodontic treatment, etc.

Aim: This case report aims to describe the management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a palatogingival groove (PGG) associated with a complex lesion.
Background: The PGG is a rare developmental anomaly that involves the lingual surface of the maxillary incisors and extends for varying distances and depths on the root surface. This anomaly is usually inconspicuous and funnel-shaped, which forms a niche where bacterial plaque and calculus can accumulate to levels significant for pathological changes resulting in endodontic and periodontal lesions.

Article Synopsis
- The palatogingival groove is a small developmental anomaly found on the back of the upper front teeth, typically less than 1 mm deep.
- It can be hard to identify, especially in X-rays, where it can be confused with root fractures.
- This study looks at how common these grooves are, different types, how they appear on scans, and potential treatment methods for type I shallow palatogingival grooves seen in cone beam computed tomography.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to radiographically evaluate the prevalence of palatogingival groove (PG) in the East Indian population in the maxillary anterior teeth in different genders, its unilateral/bilateral presentation, classified based on its radiographic characteristics, to determine the prevalence of different types, which could help in future treatment planning.
Study Design: The design of the study was a retrospective study.
Materials And Methods: Analysis of 429 maxillary anterior teeth (144 central incisors, 145 lateral incisors, and 139 canines) in 72 cone-beam computed tomography scans was done (31 males and 41 females, mean age 27.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of palatogingival groove (PGG) affecting maxillary anterior teeth, bilateral occurrence, and distribution among sex in the Saudi subpopulation and to review the literature on the prevalence of PGG.
Introduction: Palatogingival groove (PGG) primarily affects maxillary lateral incisors and, when present, may contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontal and endodontic lesions.
Materials & Methods: A total of 509 CBCT scans of Saudi patients with 2747 maxillary anterior teeth were included in the study.
