Question

Diastema occurs in place of

• A. Incisors
• B. Canines
• C. Premolars
• D. Molars

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Sometimes some teeth are missing or undersized. This happens most often with the upper lateral incisors (the teeth next to the two upper front teeth). That can cause the upper central incisors to develop a space. A diastema also can be caused by an oversized labial frenum.

So, the correct option is 'Incisors'.
