A space, or lack of contact area, between any two teeth in the same arch is called a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
diastema. When a diastema occurs between the maxillary central incisors, it is often the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
result of a pronounced labial frenum extending to the crest of the alveolar ridge and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
possibly over the ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting incisors
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
to be pushed aside resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a diastema usually
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
involves surgical removal, or cutting, of the frenal tissue between teeth.
