A recent study conducted by researchers at the Medical University of Varna in northeastern Bulgaria examined the width of maxillary diastema, a condition characterized by a gap between the central incisors. The study analyzed 149 diagnostic plaster models of individuals with maxillary diastema, dividing them into two age groups: those 35 years of age or younger, and those older than 35. The study found that the median width of maxillary diastema was 1.46 mm, with variations based on sex and age. The researchers concluded that understanding the width of maxillary diastema in relation to age and sex can aid in selecting appropriate treatment methods. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia compared the longevity of direct composite veneers and indirect ceramic laminate veneers in multiple diastema closure cases. The study involved 28 patients with an average age of 26 years, who received either direct resin composite veneers or indirect ceramic veneers on their maxillary anterior teeth. The veneers were evaluated every 6 months for up to 2 years, and the results showed no significant difference in survival rates between the two types of veneers. However, the composite veneers were more prone to staining and roughness. This study suggests that both types of veneers are effective treatment options for diastema closure, but composite veneers may require more maintenance. [Extracted from the article]

A researcher from Jagiellonian University Medical College has conducted a retrospective clinical analysis on the effectiveness of skeletally anchored appliances for maxillary expansion in treating diastema, a condition characterized by gaps between teeth. The study evaluated the efficacy of using distractors supported by temporary orthodontic implants (TOIs) in patients of different ages and genders. The results showed that the procedure was effective in adolescents regardless of sex, but had limited effectiveness in adult males. This research provides valuable insights into alternative treatments for diastema. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted in Hyderabad examined the prevalence of Maxillary Midline Diastema, a condition characterized by a gap between the upper front teeth. The study included 2546 participants aged 18 to 50 years, with 1952 males and 594 females. The results showed that 33% of the participants had midline diastema, with a higher incidence in males compared to females. The study suggests that early detection of diastema is important for timely treatment, especially considering its impact on facial aesthetics and social activities. This research provides valuable insights into the prevalence and awareness of diastema, paving the way for further studies. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Saraswati Dental College and Hospital in Uttar Pradesh, India, focused on the orthodontic management of midline diastema caused by mesiodens, which are supernumerary teeth found in the maxillary anterior region. The study emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to avoid complications such as malocclusion, unesthetic appearance, food lodgment, and cyst formation. The researchers presented three cases in which extraction of the supernumerary teeth followed by fixed orthodontic treatment successfully corrected the malocclusion and improved facial esthetics. The full study can be accessed in the Asian Journal of Oral Health and Allied Sciences. [Extracted from the article]
