| organic dental cement | A dental cement consisting mainly of synthetic polymers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth cement | <dentistry> A bony substance covering the root of a tooth. (08 Jan 1998) |
| zinc oxide-eugenol cement | Least irritating of the cements. The powder is essentially zinc oxide with strengtheners and accelerators. The liquid is basically eugenol. (boucher's clinical dental terminology, 4th ed, p50) (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc phosphate cement | <chemical> A material used for cementation of inlays, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances and occasionally as a temporary restoration. It is prepared by mixing zinc oxide and magnesium oxide powders with a liquid consisting principally of phosphoric acid, water, and buffers. Chemical name: Phosphoric acid, zinc salt (2:3) (12 Dec 1998) |
| unmodified zinc oxide-eugenol cement | A dental cement obtained by mixing zinc oxide and eugenol without modifiers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood vessel prosthesis | Prosthesis, constructed of either synthetic or biological material, which is used for the repair of injured or diseased blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood vessel prosthesis implantation | Surgical insertion of synthetic or biological material to repair injured or diseased blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| breast prosthesis | <oncology> An artificial breast form worn under clothing. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cardiac valve prosthesis | See: valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mandibular guide prosthesis | A prosthesis with an extension designed to direct a resected mandible into a functional relation with the maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mandibular prosthesis | A prosthetic appliance for the replacement of areas of the mandible missing or defective as a result of deformity, disease, injury, or surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandibular prosthesis implantation | Surgical insertion of an appliance for the replacement of areas of the mandible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maxillofacial prosthesis | A prosthetic appliance for the replacement of areas of the maxilla, mandible, and face, missing as a result of deformity, disease, injury, or surgery. When the prosthesis replaces portions of the mandible only, it is referred to as mandibular prosthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
