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.
Diastema – Space between upper front two teeth; Fenestration of buccal bone [13] Compression of periodontal ligament near posterior teeth; Extrusion of posterior teeth; Increased lingual bone thickness, decreased buccal bone thickness [13] One of the limits of expansion is the zygomatic buttress. It is known that this anatomical bony complex ...
However, a study published by Lagravere et al. [8] in 2010, stated that there was no difference between the bone-borne and tooth-borne expansion devices. Both types of expanders showed similar results and that the greatest changes were seen in the transverse dimension, changes in the vertical and anteroposterior dimensions were negligible.
Many species of mammals have diastemata as a normal feature, most commonly between the incisors and molars. I think there should be a separate article about that. Especially about the function of the mammal diastema. Many plant eaters like most ungulates (except swine), hares and rodents have a diastema, mostly along with long, pointed nasal bones.
In geology, a diastem is a short interruption in sedimentation with little or no erosion. [1] They can also be described as very short unconformities (more precisely as very short paraconformities). [2]
Diastema is a genus of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae containing approximately 20 species ranging from Mexico to Bolivia and Venezuela. [2] Species
