| growth curve | A graphic representation of the change in size of an individual or a population over a period of time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roc curve | A graphic means for assessing the ability of a screening test to discriminate between healthy and diseased persons; may also be used in other studies, e.g., distinguishing stimuli responses as to a faint stimuli or nonstimuli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Monson curve | The curve of occlusion in which each cusp and incisal edge touches or conforms to a segment of the surface of a sphere 8 inches in diameter with its centre in the region of the glabella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensating curve | The anteroposterior and lateral curvature in the alignment of the occluding surfaces and incisal edges of artificial teeth; used to develop balanced occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| whole-body titration curve | A graphic representation of the in vivo changes in hydrogen ion, PaCO2, and bicarbonate which occur in arterial blood in response to primary acid-base disturbances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concentration-effect curve | <pharmacology> This is a graph produced to show the relationship between the exposure concentration of a drug or other foreign chemical and the magnitude of the graded effect that it produces. (05 Jan 1998) |
| concentration-response curve | <pharmacology> This is a graph produced to show the relation between the exposure concentration of a drug (or other chemical) and the degree of response it produces, as measured by the percentage of the exposed population showing a defined, often quantal, effect. (05 Jan 1998) |
| Pleasure curve | A curve of occlusion which when viewed in sagittal section conforms to a line that is convex upward except for the last molars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscle curve | <investigation, physiology> A test which measures muscle response to nerve stimulation. Used to evaluate muscle weakness and to determine if the weakness is related to the muscles themselves or a problem with the nerves that supply the muscles. Abnormal results may be seen in myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, carpal tunnel syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, alcoholic neuropathy, cervical spondylosis, dermatomyositis, familial periodic paralysis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, mononeuritis multiplex, peripheral neuropathy, sciatic nerve disease and a variety of peripheral nerve disorders.

| precipitation curve | A graph of the quantity of precipitate formed as a function of the quantity of antigen added during the titration of an antibody with an antigen. Synonym: Heidelberger curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| H and D curve | Sensitometric curve of radiographic film, a plot of the film density versus the logarithm of the relative exposure. Synonym: H and D curve, Hunter and Driffield curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Price-Jones curve | A distribution curve of the measured diameters of red blood cells; it is to the right of the normal curve (i.e., indicating larger diameters) in instances of pernicious anaemia and other forms in which macrocytes are present, and to the left (i.e., indicating smaller diameters) in iron deficiency and other forms of microcytic anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heating curve | <chemistry> A plot of temperature verses time for a substance where energy is added at a constant rate. (09 Jan 1998) |
| probability curve | A graph of the gaussian (normal) distribution representing relative probabilities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| curve of Wilson |
the curvature of the cusps of the teeth as projected on the frontal plane; that of the inferior dental arch is concave and that of the superior dental arch is convex.

| curve |
in geometry, the locus of a point moving according to specified conditions. The circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a given point (the center). Other common geometrical curves are the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, which are also produced when a cone is cut by a plane at different angles. Many curves have been invented for the solution of special problems in geometry and mechanics - for example, the cissoid (the inverse of a parabola) and the cycloid.

| curve of Spee |
The occlusal and incisal surfaces of the tooth crowns in either dental arch describe, from a sagittal perspective, a curve, ordinarily concave upward with reference to the mandibular arch and convex for the maxillary arch.

| curve of Wilson |
Because the long axes of the mandibular molars and premolars converge towards the midline, the occlusal surfaces of these teeth bilaterally form a curve in a buccolingual direction. This imaginary curve as defined by a line tangent to the buccal and lingual cusps of the mandibular posterior teeth bilaterally, is termed the curve of Wilson.
