Abstract:
Diastemas are frequent orthodontic problems caused by
multiple etiologies which can be physiologic and dentoalveolar
like missing tooth, peg lateral, supernumerary teeth, prominent
frenulum, proclination of the labial dental segment; or self inflicted pathologies. The continuing presence of an anterior
diastema in adults, has often been considered as an aesthetic
problem. In this case, a multidisciplinary treatment of an
adult patient who had a missing tooth and a prominent upper
labial frenulum, which includes orthodontics, periodontics,
implants and prosthetics will be presented.
