AI 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.
Article Abstract
The palatogingival groove is a developmental anomaly on the palatal surface of the maxillary anterior teeth. The shallow groove, often less than 1 mm, is challenging to diagnose, particularly in radiographic examinations. Such grooves are mistaken for root fractures. In this case study, we explore the prevalence, types, radiological appearances, and treatment options of type I shallow palatogingival grooves encountered in cone beam computed tomography.
