| basilar angle | An angle formed by the intersection at the basion of lines coming from the nasal spine and the nasal point. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Bennett angle | The angle formed by the sagittal plane and the path of the advancing condyle during lateral mandibular movement as viewed in the horizontal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta angle | The angle formed by a line connecting the bregma and hormion meeting the radius fixus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biorbital angle | An angle formed by the meeting of the axes of the orbits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bond angle | This refers to the angle formed between two nuclei which are linked together. (09 Oct 1997) |
| brewster's angle | <physics> The angle of incidence at which electromagnetic waves reflected from a dielectric medium are completely polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence, the component polarized parallel to the plane of incidence is completely transmitted. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Broca's angle | More specifically see: Broca's basilar angle, Broca's facial angle, occipital angle of parietal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Broca's basilar angle | The angle formed at the basion of lines drawn from the nasion and the alveolar point. Synonym: Broca's angles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Broca's facial angle | The angle formed by the intersection at the biauricular axis of lines drawn from the supraorbital point and the alveolar point. Synonym: Broca's angles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bucco-occlusal angle | The line of junction of the buccal and occlusal surfaces of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiodiaphragmatic angle | The angle between the heart and the diaphragm at either lateral end of the cardiac projection on imaging (usually the chest X-ray film). The right cardiophrenic angle is normally indistinguishable from the cardiohepatic angle radiographically. Synonym: cardiodiaphragmatic angle, phrenopericardial angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiohepatic angle | The angle formed by the upper border of the liver and the right border of the heart, especially as defined by percussion. Synonym: cardiohepatic triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiophrenic angle | The angle between the heart and the diaphragm at either lateral end of the cardiac projection on imaging (usually the chest X-ray film). The right cardiophrenic angle is normally indistinguishable from the cardiohepatic angle radiographically. Synonym: cardiodiaphragmatic angle, phrenopericardial angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gamma angle | <ophthalmology> The angle formed between a line joining the fixation point to the centre of the eye and the optic axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malocclusion, angle class I | Malocclusion in which the mandible and maxilla are anteroposteriorly normal as reflected by the relationship of the first permanent molar (i.e., in neutroclusion), but in which individual teeth are abnormally related to each other. (12 Dec 1998) |
