| interocclusal record | A record of the positional relationship of the teeth or jaws to each other, recorded by placing a plastic material which hardens (such as plaster of Paris, wax, etc.) between the occlusal surfaces of the rims or teeth; the hardened material serves as the record; it may be registered in centric or eccentric positions, as (05 Mar 2000) |
| occluding centric relation record | A registration of centric relation made at the established occlusal vertical dimension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal jaw relation record | A record of the relationship of the mandible to the maxillae made at the vertical relation of occlusion and at the centric position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| three-dimensional record | A maxillomandibular record made at the occluding relation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jaw relation record | A registration of any positional relationship of the mandible in reference to the maxillae. These records may be any of the many vertical, horizontal, or orientation relations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| face-bow record | <dentistry> A registration utilizing a face-bow of the position of the hinge axis and/or the condyles; the face-bow record is used to orient the maxillary cast to the opening and closing axis of the articulator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional chew-in record | A record of the natural chewing movements of the mandible made on an occlusion rim by teeth or scribing studs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alu-equivalent family | A set of sequences in a mammalian genome that is related to the human Alu family. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cancer family | A group of blood relatives of whom several have had cancer; the mode of aggregation may be genetic and homogeneous, as in familial polyposis of the colon; diverse as in neurofibromatosis; or due to common exposure to a carcinogenic or oncogenic agent, such as a virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gene family | <molecular biology> A set of genes coding for diverse proteins which, by virtue of their high degree of sequence similarity, are believed to have evolved from a single ancestral gene. An example is the immunoglobulin family where the characteristic features of the constant domains are found in various cell surface receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| phage integrase family | <enzyme> Enzymes that mediate site specific recombination in prokaryotes. They fall into two families, phage integrases and resolvases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| physicians, family | Those physicians who have completed the education requirements specified by the american academy of family physicians. (12 Dec 1998) |
| colon cancer, family history of | Colorectal cancer can run in families. The colon cancer risk is higher if an immediate (first-degree) family member (parents, siblings or children) had colorectal cancer and even higher if more than one such relative had colorectal cancer or if a family member developed the cancer at young age (younger than 55 years). Under any of these circumstances, individuals are recommended to undergo a colonoscopy every three years starting at an age that is 7-10 years younger than when the youngest family member with the cancer wasdiagnosed. For example, if a parent had colon cancer diagnosed at age 50, colonoscopy should start in that person's children at 40-43 years of age. (12 Dec 1998) |
