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