The presence of radicular anomalies may act as a predisposing factor for the accumulation of bacterial plaque and the development of local periodontal or pulpal disease. We present a case of palato-radicular groove in tooth N^o.21 that caused periodontal pocket and localized bone defect leading to loss of the tooth. We review the prevalence, localizations and pathogenesis of this dental abnormality as well as therapeutic approaches reported in the literature. The palato-radicular groove:relationship with pulpar and/or periodontal desease.

Keywords : Palato-radicular groove; radicular anormalities; localized periodontitis.
