A mesiodens is often diagnosed coincidentally during a radiological examination. However, a mesiodens may also be diagnosed in relation to a clinically identified central diastema and an eruption disturbance, or a rotation of a central incisor. In this study of a group of 162 children and
A midline diastema usually is part of normal dental development during the mixed dentition. However, several factors can cause a diastema that may require intervention. An enlarged labial frenum has been blamed for most persistent diastemas, but its etiologic role now is understood to represent only
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the closure, persistence or reopening of the maxillary midline diastema after frenectomy in patients with and without subsequent orthodontic treatment.
METHODS
All patients undergoing frenectomy with a CO2 laser were included in this retrospective study during the period of
In the management of diastema verum associated with persistent labial frenum it is important to distinguish, on the basis of clinical testing, between a normal and abnormal labial frenum. The authors believe that from an orthodontic standpoint, frenotomy ad frenectomy are contraindicated in the
Midline diastema is a space between the central incisors. Although physiologic transitory maxillary midline diastema is observed in children during eruption of maxillary anterior teeth in most cases, it is self-corrected after eruption of maxillary canines. However, midline diastema unrelated to the
The eruption of the canine is known to be a factor for diastema closure. In this study the relative changes in the orientation of the unerupted canine were assessed using the orthopantomographs of 9854 patients who sought consultation between April 1984 and March 1993. A total of 38 canines in 32
Median cleft lip is a rare congenital anomaly. The wide diastema with mesial tipping observed in these patients has been largely overlooked. A midline submucosal alveolar cleft prevents adequate treatment. The purpose of this article is to describe an alveolar bone grafting (ABG) technique used in
Midline diastema is a common orthodontic problem in mixed dentition caused by various factors like genetic, supernumery teeth, abnormal frenum attachment, habits and microdontia etc. Large diastemas need closure for the eruption of adjacent teeth. I present here a newly designed customized self
A case is presented with loss of two maxillary central incisors in a 12 year old girl due to the use of elastics around the teeth to close a median diastema. The patients complaint was an increased mobility of these teeth. She presented a Class I malocclusion and a supraposition of the upper central
Anterior spaces may interfere with smile attractiveness and compromise dentofacial harmony. They are among the most frequent reasons why patients seek orthodontic treatment. However, midline diastema is commonly cited as a malocclusion with high relapse incidence by orthodontists.
OBJECTIVE
This
The purpose of this study was to assess postretention stability of maxillary midline diastema closure, to search for predictors of relapse, and to test for associations between relapse and other postretention changes. The sample consisted of 35 patients with pretreatment diastemas ranging from 0.9

Dentofacial aesthetics plays an important role in social interaction and psychological well-being because it affects how people perceive themselves and how they are perceived by society. The maxillary labial frenum is a fold of tissue, usually triangular in shape, extending from the
