Association of Maxillary Labial Frenum Attachment and Insertion With Midline Diastema in Children With Primary Dentition: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study demonstrated that maxillary frenum attachment and insertion levels shifted with age, favoring gingival and mid-attached gingival insertions. These findings advocate for age-specific evaluations and a conservative approach to managing midline diastema in primary dentition.
