A space, or lack of contact area, between any two teeth in the same arch is called a
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
diastema. When a diastema occurs between the maxillary central incisors, it is often the
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
result of a pronounced labial frenum extending to the crest of the alveolar ridge and
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
possibly over the ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting incisors
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
to be pushed aside resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a diastema usually
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
involves surgical removal, or cutting, of the frenal tissue between teeth.

Torus palatinus is excess bone growth and occurs in the midline of the hard palate. It
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
may grow to varying sizes and is generally only a problem when the construction of a
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
maxillary denture is necessary. In health, such bony protuberances, or excess bone
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
growths, do not occur on the soft palate, alveolar ridge, or oral pharynx.

The oral vestibule is the space or potential space that exists between the lips or cheeks
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
and teeth. In an edentulous person, the vestibule would extend between the lips or cheeks
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
and the alveolar ridges. The oral cavity proper is surrounded by teeth or alveolar ridges
s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3
and extends all the way back to the palatine tonsils. This includes the region from the

floor of the mouth upward to the hard and soft palates.
