| jaw skeleton | That part of the skull derived from the embryonic pharyngeal arches; it comprises the facial bones of the facial skeleton (under bone) and is distinct from that part of the skull which forms the neurocranium or braincase. Synonym: cranium viscerale, visceral cranium, jaw skeleton, splanchnocranium. Origin: viscero-+ cranium Cartilaginous viscerocranium, those elements of the foetal skull derived from the second and succeeding pharyngeal arch cartilages. Membranous viscerocranium, membranous bones, developed in the foetal skull, that overlie maxillary and mandibular components of the first pharyngeal arch cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous skeleton of heart | A complex framework of dense collagen forming four fibrous rings (annuli fibrosi), which surround the ostia of the valves, a right and left fibrous trigone, formed by connecting the rings, and the membranous portions of the interatrial and interventricular septa; it is found in association with the base of the ventricles, i.e., at the level of the coronary sulcus; its functions include: 1) contributing reinforcement of the valvular ostia while providing attachment for the leaflets and cusps of the valves; 2) providing origin and insertion for the myocardium; and 3) serving as a sort of electrical "insulator," separating the electrically conducted impulses of the atria and ventricles and providing passage for the common atrioventricular bundle of conductive tissue through the right fibrous trigone and membranous interventricular septum. Synonym: cardiac fibrous skeleton, cardiac skeleton, skeleton of heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bar joint denture | A complete denture that is supported by both soft tissue and natural teeth that have been altered so as to permit the denture to fit over them. The altered teeth may have been fitted with short or long copings, locking devices, or connecting bars. Synonym: bar joint denture, hybrid prosthesis, overdenture, telescopic denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| partial denture | A dental prosthesis which restores one or more, but less than all, of the natural teeth and/or associated parts and which is supported by the teeth and/or the mucosa; it may be removable or fixed. Synonym: bridgework. Distal extension, a removable partial denture that is retained by natural teeth at one end of the denture base segments only, and in which a portion of the functional load is carried by the residual ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| partial denture impression | An impression or negative copy of all or a part of the partially edentulous dental arch or area, made for the purpose of designing or constructing a partial denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| partial denture retention | The fixation of a removable partial denture by the use of clasps, indirect retainers, or precision attachments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| removable partial denture | A partial denture which supplies teeth and associated structures on a partially edentulous jaw, and which can be readily removed from the mouth. Synonym: removable bridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wax model denture | A setup of artificial teeth so fabricated that it may be placed in the patient's mouth to verify esthetics, for the making of records, or for any other operation deemed necessary before final completion of the denture. Synonym: wax model denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complete denture | A dental prosthesis which is a substitute for the lost natural dentition and associated structures of the maxillae or mandible. Synonym: full denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complete denture impression | An impression of an edentulous arch made for the purpose of constructing a complete denture, a negative registration of the entire denture-bearing, stabilizing area of either the maxillae or mandible, a negative registration of the entire denture foundation and border seal areas present in the edentulous mouth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| provisional denture | A dental prosthesis to be used for a short interval of time for reasons of esthetics, mastication, occlusal support, or convenience, or to condition the patient to accept an artificial substitute for missing natural teeth until more definite prosthetic dental treatment can be provided. Synonym: provisional denture, temporary denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stomatitis, denture | Inflammation of the mouth due to denture irritation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture | <dentistry> A synthetic replacement for all of your teeth in either your upper or your lower jaw. (08 Jan 1998) |
| denture basal surface | That portion of the surface of a denture which has its contour determined by the impression and bears the greater part of the occlusal load. Synonym: denture basal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
