| irregular dentin | Morphologically irregular dentin formed in response to an irritant. Synonym: irregular dentin, irritation dentin, reparative dentin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| opalescent dentin | Dentin usually associated with dentinogenesis imperfecta. It gives an unusual opalescent or translucent appearance to the teeth. Synonym: hereditary opalescent dentin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| eburnation of dentin | A condition observed in arrested dental caries wherein decalcified dentin is burnished and takes on a polished, often brown-stained appearance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transparent dentin | Dentin characterised by calcification of the dentinal tubules as a result of injury or normal aging. Synonym: transparent dentin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired sensitivity | 1. <immunology> A state of hypersensitivity induced by exposure to a particular antigen (allergen) resulting in harmful immunologic reactions on subsequent exposures, the term is usually used to refer to hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (atopic allergy or contact dermatitis) or to drug allergy. The original meaning, now obsolete, included all states of altered immunologic reactivity, immunity as well as hypersensitivity. Gell and Coombs used the term allergic reaction to mean any harmful immunologic reaction causing tissue injury. 2. <study> The medical specialty dealing with diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders. (18 Nov 1997) |
| analytical sensitivity | The degree of response to a change in concentration of analyte being measured in an assay; synonymous with the detection limit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic sensitivity | Microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. See: antibiotic sensitivity test, minimal inhibitory concentration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic sensitivity test | The in vitro testing of bacterial cultures with antibiotics to determine susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pacemaker sensitivity | The minimum cardiac activity required to consistently trigger a pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative sensitivity | The sensitivity of a medical screening test as determined by comparison with the same type of test; e.g., sensitivity of a new serological test relative to sensitivity of an established serological test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemotherapy drug sensitivity test | <investigation> A test to assess a cancerous tissue's response and vulnerability to chemotherapy drugs. This test can help predict a patients response to treatment and suggest which drugs may be useful. (16 Dec 1997) |
| microbial sensitivity tests | Any tests that demonstrate the relative efficacy of different chemotherapeutic agents against specific microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses). (12 Dec 1998) |
