Premaxillary Prominence

Definition:

Subjective: Overdevelopment of the premaxilla

Comments:

As a consequence of prominence of the premaxilla, the overlying structures, the nose and philtrum, may appear prominent. There is increased convexity of the face and an increased nasolabial angle. In the presence of a normal sized mandible, retrognathia may be appreciated.

Synonyms:

• Premaxillary Hyperplasia

Replaces:

• Premaxillary Hyperplasia
