Esthetic Management of Midline Diastema by Combined Surgical and Prosthetic Approach

Abstract

Maxillary midline diastemas are a common esthetic problem that dentists must treat. Many innovative therapies have been used, varying from restorative procedures to surgery (frenectomies) and orthodontics. The need for treatment is mainly attributed to esthetic and psychological reasons, rather than functional ones. Present case report is about 34 year old female patient whose midline diastema was managed by surgical and prosthetic approach.
