Teeth, Widely Spaced

Definition:

Subjective: Increased spaces (diastemata) between most of the teeth in the same dental arch

Comments:

Wide spacing can be secondary to increased room by an unusually large dental arch, microdontia or mixed primary and secondary dentition. It should be carefully noted that slight spacing between the primary teeth is normal, so experience in evaluation is important in determining this feature. This descriptor must be distinguished from Diastema.

Synonyms:

• Multiple Diastemata
