| aluminum silicate | <chemical> The most common mineral of a group of hydrated aluminum silicates, approximately h2al2si2o8-h2o. It is prepared for pharmaceutical and medicinal purposes by levigating with water to remove sand, etc. The name is derived from kao-ling (chinese: "high ridge"), the original site. Pharmacological action: antidiarrhoeals, pharmaceutic aid. Chemical name: Kaolin (12 Dec 1998) |
| magnesium aluminum silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silicate | <chemistry> A salt of silicic acid. In mineralogical chemistry the silicates include; the unisilicates or orthosilicates, salts of orthosilicic acid; the bisilicates or metasilicates, salts of metasilicic acid; the polysilicates or acid silicates, salts of the polysilicic acids; the basic silicates or subsilicates, in which the equivalent of base is greater than would be required to neutralize the acid; and the hydrous silicates, including the zeolites and many hydrated decomposition products. Origin: Cf. F. Silicate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| silicate cement | <chemical> A relatively hard, translucent, restorative material used primarily in anterior teeth. Chemical name: Silicic acid, aluminum calcium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid-etched restoration | The restoration of tooth structure with a resin after the surface of the tooth has been treated with an acid solution that etches the tooth surface, thereby increasing retention of the restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| restoration | Measures undertaken to return a degraded ecosystem's functions and values, including its hydrology, plant and animal communities, and/or portions thereof, to a less degraded ecological condition. (09 Oct 1997) |
| restoration measure | <ecology> A restoration measure consists of one or more features or activities, at a geographic site, that is intended to cause a desirable change in an ecological resource and results in a positive environmental output. Many restoration measures are combinations of several features and activities. (10 Mar 1998) |
| permanent restoration | A definitive restoration, in contradistinction to a temporary or provisional restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| root canal restoration | A gutta-percha, silver, or plastic cone that has been carried into a root canal, either alone or in conjunction with a cement, paste, or solvent, for the purpose of obturating the canal space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| combination restoration | A tooth restoration of two or more materials applied in layers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound restoration | A restoration of more than one surface of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plastic restoration material | In dentistry, any material that may be shaped directly to the tooth cavity, such as amalgam, cement, or resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dental restoration failure | Inability or inadequacy of a dental restoration or prosthesis to perform as expected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental restoration, permanent | A restoration designed to remain in service for not less than 20 to 30 years, usually made of gold casting, cohesive gold, or amalgam. (12 Dec 1998) |
