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