Successful treatment of a radicular groove by intentional replantation and Emdogain therapy: four years follow-up

Radicular groove is an anatomical malformation that often causes severe periodontal defects. Treatments of such an anomaly present a clinical challenge to the operator. Presented is a case of successful treatment of radicular groove associated with a maxillary lateral incisor of a 15-year-old girl. A combination of endodontics, intentional replantation, and Emdogain therapy was used. At 4-year follow-up, the patient was comfortable and complete resolution of the periapical pathology was evident. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2009;107:e82-e85)
