# Combined Periodontal and Endodontic Management of Palatal Radicular Groove with Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Biodentine®

## TL;DR

This paper presents a case study on treating a palatal radicular groove using Biodentine and platelet-rich fibrin in a 44-year-old woman.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in combining Biodentine and platelet-rich fibrin for managing PRG in a clinical case.

## Key findings

- The treatment successfully managed the palatal radicular groove in the patient.
- Biodentine and platelet-rich fibrin showed effective sealing and regenerative properties.
- The case highlights the potential of this combined approach for similar dental anomalies.

## Abstract

Palatal radicular groove (PRG) is developmental anomaly of root, which when present is associated with periodontal and endodontic problems. Different treatment modalities are available for its management, such as periodontal flap surgery, endodontic management, sealing of PRG with various cements, bone graft procedure for intrabony defect, extraction with intentional replantation after sealing or removal of a PRG, and endodontic treatment as well as the use of various growth factors. Success of the therapy depends on the type, depth, and extent of PRG, presence or absence of intrabony defect, vitality of involved tooth, and types of materials used to seal PRG. This study reports management of PRG with Biodentine® and platelet-rich fibrin in a 44-year-old systemically healthy female patient.
