  2. Diastema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastema

    A diastema (pl.: diastemata, from Greek διάστημα, 'space') is a space or gap between two teeth. Many species of mammals have diastemata as a normal feature, most commonly between the incisors and molars. More colloquially, the condition may be referred to as gap teeth or tooth gap.

  3. Diastematomyelia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastematomyelia

    Diastematomyelia is a "dysraphic state" of unknown embryonic origin, but is probably initiated by an accessory neurenteric canal (an additional embryonic spinal canal.).) This condition may be an isolated phenomenon or may be associated with other segmental anomalies of the vertebral bodies such as spina bifida, kyphoscoliosis, butterfly vertebra, hemivertebra and block vertebrae which are ...

    In children, tongue thrusting is common due to immature oral behavior, narrow dental arch, prolonged upper respiratory tract infections, spaces between the teeth (diastema), muscle weakness, malocclusion, abnormal sucking habits, and open mouth posture due to structural abnormalities of genetic origin.

  6. Tethered cord syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_cord_syndrome

    By the time of birth the spinal cord is located between L1 and L2. In a baby with Spina bifida the spinal cord is still attached to the skin around it preventing it from rising properly. [13] This occurs because the spinal cord in a child with Spina bifida is low lying and tethered at the bottom.

  9. Hominid dental morphology evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominid_dental_morphology...

    General patterns of dental morphological evolution throughout human evolution include a reduction in facial prognathism, the presence of a Y5 cusp pattern, the formation of a parabolic palate and the loss of the diastema. Human teeth are made of dentin and are covered by enamel in the areas that are exposed. [2]
