A space, or lack of contact area, between any two teeth in the same arch is called a
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
diastema. When a diastema occurs between the maxillary central incisors, it is often the
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
result of a pronounced labial frenum extending to the crest of the alveolar ridge and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
possibly over the ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
incisors to be pushed aside resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a diastema
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
usually involves surgical removal, or cutting, of the frenal tissue between teeth.
