| A-a | alveolar-atrial |
| dentin dysplasia | An apparently hereditary disorder of dentin formation, marked by a normal appearance of coronal dentin associated with pulpal obliteration, faulty root formation, and a tendency for peripheral lesions without obvious cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| dentin globule | Calcospherites formed by calcification or mineralization of the dentin occurring in globular areas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentin permeability | The property of dentin that permits passage of light, heat, cold, and chemical substances. It does not include penetration by microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dentin, secondary | Dentin formed and deposited in response to a normal or slightly abnormal stimulus, after the complete formation of the tooth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| interglobular dentin | Imperfectly calcified matrix of dentin situated between the calcified globules near the dentinal periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| tertiary dentin | Morphologically irregular dentin formed in response to an irritant. Synonym: irregular dentin, irritation dentin, reparative 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) |
| adenocarcinoma, bronchiolo-alveolar | A carcinoma thought to be derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli. Involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular. The neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures. Mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells. Metastases in regional lymph nodes, and in even more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar | <anatomy> Of, pertaining to, or resembling, alveoli or little cells, sacs, or sockets. Alveolar processes, the processes of the maxillary bones, containing the sockets of the teeth. Origin: L. Alveolus a small hollow or cavity: cf. F. Alveolaire. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| alveolar abscess | A pocket of pus adjacent to or within (apical abscess) the tooth's root caused by plaque and calculus invasion. Symptoms include tooth pain and tenderness that may be accompanied by facial swelling and a fever. Treatment includes antibiotics and a thorough cleansing of the infected site by a dentist. See: apical abscess. (27 Sep 1997) |
| alveolar adenocarcinoma | <tumour> Adenocarcinoma of the lung in which tumour cells form structures resembling alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar air | The gas in the pulmonary alveoli, where O2-CO2 exchange with pulmonary capillary blood occurs. Synonym: alveolar air. (05 Mar 2000) |
