In children aged 3 years without malocclusion the dental arches were studied for the occurrence, position and size of diastemata (interdental clefts). In the studied children most arches had diastemata (in 95% of cases in the upper arch and in 80% in the lower arch). It is concluded that the
This is a case report of a 20-year-old woman with a hyperdivergent Class III malocclusion, infected mandibular incisors, maxillary midline diastema, and a mild tongue thrust. Extraction of the infected incisors and orthodontic treatment involving partial mesial movement of the remaining mandibular
The etched-metal, resin-bonded fixed partial denture has evolved rapidly from its origination as an extracoronal splint. Technologic advancements in both resin chemistry and retentive surface etching techniques have markedly improved the quality of the prosthesis. Today, resin-bonded fixed partial
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of interincisive and primate spaces in the primary dentition, relating them to age and sex, was studied. An analysis was made as to what extent various occlusal aspects of the arches affect the existence of spacing.
METHODS
A population of 267 children, 153 males and 114
In growing patients, midline diastemas often appear during a transitory stage of development, and then close spontaneously. Occasionally a local cause must be identified and eliminated before the diastema can be closed orthodontically with a stable result. In nongrowing adult patients, the situation
This case report presents the interceptive orthodontic treatment of a 9-year, 5-month-old boy with class I malocclusion, a 9.0-mm maxillary midline diastema, and deviation from the midline. The treatment goals were to decrease the magnitude of the diastema and to simulate the characteristics of the
Maxillary midline diastema is a common aesthetic concern of dental patients. Various treatment modalities have been employed to close diastemas. This case report describes an unusual orthodontic treatment approach for a 25-year-old African American female patient with a large maxillary midline
Maxillary midline diastema is a common aesthetic problem in mixed and early permanent dentitions. The space can occur either as a transient malocclusion or created by developmental, pathological or iatrogenical factors. Many innovative therapies varying from restorative procedures such as composite
Cephalometric studies are important to quantify abnormalities of jaw length and positioning. In this study, 4 to 7-month-old Quarter horse foals (n = 51) were examined to determine overjet (horizontal overlap) prevalence and measure the size of the physiological diastemata. Results were analyzed in
BACKGROUND
The aims of the study were as follows: (1) to examine the width of the dental arches of patients with maxillary midline diastema and compare it with control group; (2) to investigate the impact of the width of upper dental arch on the width of diastema.
METHODS
Diagnostic orthodontic
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.
