Abstract

Primate spaces are diastemata consistent with an inherent physiological pattern rather than functional adaptation. This article presents an atypically increased primate space only in the right mandibular arch. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Differential diagnoses that can be considered for an asymmetrically enlarged primate space include individual variation, tooth size, arch length discrepancy, infection, traumatic dental injury or an obstructive pathology, such as a malignant neoplasm, developmental cyst, odontoma or supernumerary tooth.
