| rest's of Serres | Remnants of dental lamina epithelium entrapped within the gingiva. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| rest vertical dimension | The vertical dimension of the face with the jaws in rest relation; decrease in rest vertical dimension may or may not accompany a decrease in occlusal vertical dimension; it may occur without a decrease in occlusal vertical dimension in patients with a preponderant activity of the jaw-closing musculature, as in patients with muscular hypertenseness or in chronic gum chewers; increase in rest vertical dimension may or may not accompany an increase in occlusal vertical dimension; it sometimes occurs after the removal of remaining occlusal contacts, perhaps as a result of the removal of noxious reflex stimuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesonephric rest | Remnants of the wolffian duct in the female genital tract that give rise to cysts; e.g., Gartner's cyst. Synonym: mesonephric rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulum rest | The rigid part of a removable partial denture supported by a prepared rest area on the cingulum of an anterior tooth or crown. (05 Mar 2000) |
| physiologic rest position | The usual position of the mandible when the patient is resting comfortably in the upright position and the condyles are in a neutral unstrained position in the glenoid fossae. See: rest relation. Synonym: postural position, postural resting position, rest position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Walthard's cell rest | A nest of epithelial cells occurring in the peritoneum of the uterine tubes or ovary; when neoplastic, possibly comprising one of the components of the Brenner tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wolffian rest | Remnants of the wolffian duct in the female genital tract that give rise to cysts; e.g., Gartner's cyst. Synonym: mesonephric rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| precision rest | A rest consisting of closely interlocking parts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisal rest | The portion of a removable partial denture supported by an incisal edge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interocclusal rest space | The vertical distance between the opposing occlusal surfaces, assuming rest relation unless otherwise designated. Synonym: interocclusal rest space. Synonym: freeway space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal rest | A rigid extension of a removable partial denture onto the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth for support of the prosthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal rest bar | A minor connector used to attach an occlusal rest to a major part of a removable partial denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| knife-rest crystal | A crystal of ammoniomagnesium phosphate found in alkaline urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual rest | A metallic extension onto the lingual surface of a tooth to provide support or indirect retention for a removable partial denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, cytoplasmic and nuclear | Proteins in the cytoplasm or nucleus that specifically bind signalling molecules and trigger changes which influence the behaviour of cells. The major groups are the steroid hormone receptors, which usually are found in the cytoplasm, and the thyroid hormone receptors, which usually are found in the nucleus. Receptors, unlike enzymes, generally do not catalyze chemical changes in their ligands. (12 Dec 1998) |
