| functional jaw orthopedics | Utilization of muscle forces to effect changes in jaw position and tooth alignment by removable appliances. Synonym: functional orthodontic therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lion-jaw bone-holding forceps | A sturdy forceps with strong sharp teeth in the jaws, used for holding bone fragments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower jaw | The jaw bone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lumpy jaw | <microbiology> A chronic local or systemic granulomatous infection caused by the fungus Actinomyces bovis or israeli. Symptoms include: weight loss, weakness, fever and pain at site of infection. Signs: multiple draining sinuses. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bacterial typing techniques | Procedures for identifying types and strains of bacteria. The most frequently employed typing systems are bacteriophage typing and serotyping as well as bacteriocin typing and biotyping. (12 Dec 1998) |
| behavioural techniques | <psychiatry> A coping strategy in which patients are taught to monitor and evaluate their own behaviour and to modify their reactions to pain. (16 Dec 1997) |
| genetic techniques | Chromosomal, biochemical, intracellular, and other methods used in the study of genetics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| patch-clamp techniques | An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.

| relaxation techniques | The use of muscular relaxation techniques in treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| replica techniques | Methods of preparing tissue specimens for visualization using an electron microscope, usually a scanning electron microscope. The methods involve the creation of exact copies of the specimens by making a mold or cast (i.e., replica) of the specimen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reproduction techniques | Methods pertaining to the generation of new individuals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pericardial window techniques | Surgical construction of an opening or window in the pericardium. It is often called subxiphoid pericardial window technique. (12 Dec 1998) |
| microbiological techniques | Techniques used in microbiology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular probe techniques | The use of devices which use detector molecules to detect, investigate, or analyze other molecules, macromolecules, molecular aggregates, or organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
