Overview

Cross-sectional study compares maxillary and mandibular frenum morphology and its link to diastema in various age cohorts, suggesting changes with age.

Key Points

  • The maxillary labial frenum shows significant changes in morphology and tension characteristics from ages 3 to 6.
  • Distinct attachment types are prevalent in children under 3, shifting towards gingival and mucosal attachments as children grow.
  • Diastema is more common in specific maxillary labial frenum phenotypes, indicating a potential link between morphology and dental gaps.
  • The mandibular labial frenum remains stable over time, lacking notable age-related changes.
