| missed abortion | An abortion in which the foetus dies in utero but the product of conception is retained in utero for two months or longer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| missed labour | Brief uterine contractions which do not lead to labour and expulsion of the infant, but which cease, resulting in the indefinite retention of the foetus (usually lifeless) either in utero or extrauterine, e.g., in the abdominal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| missed period | The failure of menstruation to occur in any month at the expected time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molar | <mechanics> Of or pertaining to a mass of matter; said of the properties or motions of masses, as distinguished from those of molecules or atoms. Origin: L. Moles mass. <anatomy> Any one of the teeth back of the incisors and canines. The molar which replace the deciduous or milk teeth are designated as premolars, and those which are not preceded by deciduous teeth are sometimes called true molars. See Tooth.
