| speech pathology | The science concerned with functional and organic speech defects and disorders. (05 Mar 2000) |
| surgical pathology | A field in anatomical pathology concerned with examination of tissues removed from living patients for the purpose of diagnosis of disease and guidance in the care of patients. (05 Mar 2000) |
| symptoms and general pathology | manifestations of disease and pathological conditions which may occur in various diseases and different organs (12 Dec 1998) |
| oral pathology | The branch of dentistry concerned with the aetiology, pathogenesis, and clinical, gross, and microscopic aspects of oral and paraoral disease, including oral soft tissues, the teeth, jaws, and salivary glands. Synonym: dental pathology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional pathology | Pathology pertaining to abnormalities in function of a tissue, organ, or part, with or without associated changes in structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lupus glomerulonephritis-pathology | Patient survival and preservation of renal function are predictable from renal pathology as demonstrated by biopsy and defined by the histological classification of the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children/World Health Organization (ISKDC/WHO). Semi-quantitative indices of nephron loss (chronicity index) and activity of acute potentially reversible inflammation (activity index) are not predictive of individual outcome, renal failure or death in patients with aggressively treated SLE GN.

Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical dental foramen | The opening at the apex of the root of a tooth that gives passage to the nerve and blood vessels. Synonym: foramen apicis dentis, apical dental foramen, root foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arrested dental caries | Carious lesions that have become inactive and stopped progressing; they may exhibit changes in colour and/or consistency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biomedical and dental materials | Substances used in biomedicine or dentistry predominantly for their physical, as opposed to chemical, properties. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiography, dental | Radiographic techniques used in dentistry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiography, dental, digital | A rapid, low-dose, digital imaging system using a small intraoral sensor instead of radiographic film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device. It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal distortion, although resolution and latitude are inferior to standard dental radiography. A receiver is placed in the mouth, routing signals to a computer which images the signals on a screen or in print. It includes digitizing from X-ray film or any other detector. (12 Dec 1998) |
