Abstract
The authors describe a clinical case of a palato-gingival groove on a maxillary central incisor with associated localized periodontal diseas e and pulp necrosis. The general clinician's initial diagnosis was inc orrect; this led to incomplete treatment and subsequent loss of the to oth. Recognition oi the palato-gingival groove is critical, especially because of its diagnostic complexity and the problems that may arise if it is not properly interpreted and treated.
