Premaxillary Underdevelopment

Definition:

Subjective: Reduction in size of the premaxilla

Comments:

As a consequence of underdevelopment of the premaxilla, the overlying structures, the nose and philtrum, may appear flattened. There is increased concavity of the face and a reduced nasolabial angle. In the presence of a normal sized mandible, prognathism may be appreciated.

Synonyms:

• Premaxillary Hypoplasia

Replaces:

• Premaxillary Hypoplasia
