| inorganic dental cement | A dental cement consisting usually of metallic salts or oxides which, when mixed with a specific liquid, form a plastic mass that sets. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| composite dental cement | An organic dental cement modified by the inclusion of inorganic materials treated with a coupling agent to bond them to the polymers. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| dental cement | <dentistry> Bonding substances available in the form of two components that are mixed together immediately before use, setting to a hard mass. They are used in restorative and orthodontic dental procedures as luting (cementing) agents, as bases, and as restorative materials. Resins and polymers used as restorative materials are usually called restorative resins rather than cements. (12 Dec 1998) |
| organic dental cement | A dental cement consisting mainly of synthetic polymers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon compounds, inorganic | Inorganic compounds that contain carbon as an integral part of the molecule but are not derived from hydrocarbons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemistry, inorganic | A field of chemistry which pertains to chemical compounds or ions that do not contain the element carbon (with the exception of carbon dioxide and compounds containing a carbonate radical, e.g., calcium carbonate). (12 Dec 1998) |
| inorganic | Pertaining to substances not of organic origin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| inorganic acid | An acid made up of molecules not containing organic radicals; e.g., HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inorganic chemicals | A broad class of substances encompassing all those that do not include carbon and its derivatives as their principal elements. However, carbides, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, and carbon disulfide are included in this class. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inorganic chemistry | The science concerned with compounds not involving carbon-containing molecules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inorganic compound | A compound in which the atoms or radicals consist of elements other than carbon and are typically held together by electrostatic forces rather than by covalent bonds; often are capable of dissociation into ions in polar solvents (e.g., H2O). Compare: organic compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inorganic compounds | Those compounds lacking carbon but including carbonates and cyanides. Compounds not having the organised anatomical structure of animal or vegetable life. (05 Dec 1998) |
| inorganic murmur | A cardiac murmur not associated with a significant heart lesion. Synonym: innocent murmur, inorganic murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inorganic phosphate | inorganic orthophosphate |
| inorganic pyrophosphatase | A phosphohydrolase catalyzing hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate to two orthophosphates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior dental branches of superior dental plexus | Branches passing from the superior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the upper jaw. Synonym: rami dentales superiores plexus dentalis superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
