👉 Perioptic is a medical term used in dentistry to describe the space between teeth and the gum line. It refers to the gap or crevice that separates the teeth from the gum, known as an apical protrusion. This space can be caused by various factors such as dental decay, gum disease, or trauma. Perioptic is an important anatomical feature in dentistry for understanding the position of teeth and their relationship with the gum line.
