Clinical Considerations and Management of Maxillary Anterior Teeth Spacing- A Multidisciplinary Approach

A major objective of dental care is extending the life span of the dentition either by prevention or by treatment of dental diseases. One of the challenges in for dental professionals in their clinics is the management of maxillary anterior spacing. When this spacing is found in adults, periodontal causes, drifting from tooth loss, and habits are added to the genetic reasons that cause spacing to be present. These spacing problems often require a multidiscipline approach between Periodontics, Orthodontics and Restorative Dentistry. Patient's medical and socio-psychological conditions are equally important.
