| cuspal | <dentistry> The chewing or tearing points of the cuspids, bicuspids, and molars. (08 Jan 1998) |
| cuspal interference | A condition of tooth contact's which diverts the mandible from a normal path of closure to centric jaw relation. Synonym: cuspal interference, interceptive occlusal contact, premature contact. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cusped geometry | <radiobiology> This is a description of a magnetic field configuration where the magnetic field lines, rather than closing in on themselves, tend to squirt out and form cusps at certain points. The magnetic field lines are everywhere convex towards the centre. Such a geometry is interesting because it is theoretically stable against a variety of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. However, confinement is typically poor because of the open field lines at the cusps. (13 Nov 1997) |
| cuspid | The third tooth to the left and to the right of the midline of either jaw, situated between the second incisor and the premolar teeth (bicuspid). (12 Dec 1998) |
| cuspid tooth | <dentistry> A tooth having a crown of thick conical shape and a long, slightly flattened conical root; there are two canine teeth in each jaw, one on either side adjacent to the distal surface of the lateral incisors, in both the deciduous and the permanent dentition. Synonym: dens caninus, canine, cuspid tooth, cuspidate tooth, cuspid, dens angularis, dens cuspidatus, eye tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
