| resins, synthetic | Polymers of high molecular weight which at some stage are capable of being molded and then harden to form useful components. (12 Dec 1998) |

| podophyllum resin | <botany> A powdered mixture of resins taken from dried seeds and root of the mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), it is typically used as a topical caustic agent. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| copolymer resin | Synthetic resin produced by joint polymerization of two or more different monomers or polymers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyamine-methylene resin | A synthetic acid-binding resin used as a gastric antacid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyester resin | Resin in which the polymers are insoluble in most organic solvents and are polymerised by light, heat, or oxygen; used in electron microscopy as a tissue embedding medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heat-curing resin | Resin that requires heat to initiate polymerization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| self-curing resin | Autopolymerizing resin, any resin that can be polymerised by chemical catalysis rather than by the application of heat; used in dentistry for dental restoration, denture repair, and impression trays. Synonym: activated resin, cold cure resin, cold-curing resin, quick cure resin, self-curing resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture, partial, fixed, resin-bonded | A commonly used prosthesis that results in a strong, permanent restoration. It consists of an electrolytically etched cast-metal retainer that is cemented (bonded), using resins, to adjacent teeth whose enamel was previously acid-treated (acid-etched). This type of bridgework is sometimes referred to as a maryland bridge. (12 Dec 1998) |
| direct composite resin restoration | A direct restoration made by inserting a plastic mix of auto or light-polymerised resins in a cavity prepared in a tooth. Synonym: direct composite resin restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct filling resin | An autopolymerizing resin especially designed as a dental restorative material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct resin restoration | A direct restoration made by inserting a plastic mix of auto or light-polymerised resins in a cavity prepared in a tooth. Synonym: direct composite resin restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dual-cure resin | A resin which utilises both light and chemical initiation to activate polymerization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Indian podophyllum resin | Resin obtained from Podophyllum emodi; a cathartic and cholagogue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quick cure resin | Autopolymerizing resin, any resin that can be polymerised by chemical catalysis rather than by the application of heat; used in dentistry for dental restoration, denture repair, and impression trays. Synonym: activated resin, cold cure resin, cold-curing resin, quick cure resin, self-curing resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quinine carbacryclic resin | See: resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quinine carbacrylic resin | A complex of azure A and carbacrylic resin; used as an indicator for the detection of gastric achlorhydria without intubation. Synonym: quinine carbacrylic resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
