Bilateral buccal radicular groove in maxillary incisors: case report

Abstract

Deep radicular grooves can predispose to pulp necrosis and the establishment of combined periodontal-endodontic lesions. Evaluation of clinical signs and appropriate diagnostic tests are of paramount importance in order to prevent incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Endodontists must be capable of performing advanced periodontal regeneration techniques during endodontic surgery.

A Maxillary Central Incisor with Three Root Canals: A Case Report

“…It is not only a hint for the existence of additional canals but can also predispose to the establishment of a combined endodonticperiodontal lesion and lead to an extremely poor prognosis (16,17).…”

“…A case documented by Hosomi et al (16) presented with 3 canals in the maxillary central incisor. A more commonly occurring dental anomaly in maxillary incisors is a radicular palatal groove, whereas a buccal location of a radicular groove is very rare (17). Variations in the anatomy of the root canal system have been reported in cases of dens invaginatus (18,19) and fusion or gemination, which were described as clinically difficult to distinguish (20).…”

Lingual Radicular Rift Valley in a Mandibular Right First Premolar Root: Report of a Rare Case and Review of the Literature

“…Kogon (1986) reported a 4.6% incidence of palatal radicular groove in maxillary incisors. Unfortunately, the data were not available for buccal grooves in maxillary incisors but three cases have been reported (Goon et al, 1991;Kerezoudis et al, 2003;Kozlovsky et al, 1988). Robinson et al, found that only 9% of the ex vivo mandibular first premolars had mesial radicular invaginations.…”

Management of an Endodontic-periodontal Lesion caused by Iatrogenic Restoration

“…Endodontic treatment is highly predictable when appropriately performed. 20,21 However, effective endodontic therapy might not always repair severe bone loss due to periodontitis. 1,22 In the present case, adequate endodontic therapy resulted in substantial healing of both the …”
