| 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) |
| anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia | A hereditary condition (most often x linked) that is characterised by the abnormal development of skin, absence of sweat glands, dry eyes and abnormal development of teeth. Symptoms include absent teeth, peg teeth, inability to sweat, thin skin and heat intolerance. Mucous membrane involvement may result in a foul-smelling nasal discharge. The inability to sweat leads to the inability to maintain normal body temperature in a warm environment. Some may exhibit fevers and will require artificial cooling. Inheritance: mostly sex-linked (X chromosome). Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (12 Nov 1997) |
| anterofacial dysplasia | Abnormal growth of the face or cranium in an anteroposterior direction as seen and measured with a cephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia | A congenital cardiomyopathy in which transmural infiltration of adipose tissue results in weakness and aneurysmal bulging of the infundibulum, apex, and posterior basilar region of the right ventricle and leads to ventricular tachycardia arising in the right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia | Hereditary hypoplasia of the thorax, associated with pelvic skeletal abnormality. Synonym: asphyxiating thoracic chondrodystrophy, Jeune's syndrome, thoracic-pelvic-phalangeal dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary dysplasia | <embryology, paediatrics> A form of chronic lung disease of uncertain cause sometimes seen in children who have received mechanical respiratory support (with high oxygenation) in the neonatal period. Often associated with those infants who have been treated for hyaline membrane disease. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| mammary dysplasia | An obsolete term for fibrocystic condition of the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mandibulofacial dysplasia | A hereditary disorder occurring in two forms: the complete form (franceschetti's syndrome) is characterised by antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures, coloboma of the lower lid, micrognathia and hypoplasia of the zygomatic arches, and microtia. It is transmitted as an autosomal trait. The incomplete form (treacher collins syndrome) is characterised by the same anomalies in less pronounced degree. It occurs sporadically, but an autosomal dominant mode of transmission is suspected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventriculoradial dysplasia | A congenital syndrome consisting of a ventricular septal defect with associated absence of thumb or radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral dysplasia | Abnormal development of the telencephalon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal dysplasia | <ophthalmology> Congenital, often bilateral, retinal abnormality characterised by the arrangement of outer nuclear retinal cells in a palisading or radiating pattern surrounding a central ocular space. This disorder is sometimes hereditary. (12 Dec 1998) |
