|---|---|
| dental implantation, endosseous | Insertion of an implant into the bone of the mandible or maxilla. The implant has an exposed head which protrudes through the mucosa and is a prosthodontic abutment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental implantation, endosseous, endodontic | Insertion of a tapered rod through the root canal into the periapical osseous structure to lengthen the existing root and provide individual tooth stabilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental implantation, subperiosteal | The grafting or inserting of an appliance designed to fit over the surface of the mandible or the maxilla, beneath the specialised connective tissue that covers the bone (periosteum). (12 Dec 1998) |
| implantation | <procedure> The insertion or grafting into the body of biological, living, inert or radioactive material. Origin: L. Plantare = to set (18 Nov 1997) |
| implantation cone | <cell biology> Tapering region between a neuron's cell body and its axon. This region is responsible for summating the graded inputs from the dendrites and producing action potentials if the threshold is exceeded. (12 Mar 1998) |
| implantation cyst | Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| implantation graft | Placing of Davis graft's deep into the interstices of granulation tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| implantation theory of the production of endometriosis | That, at the time of menstruation, cells of the uterine mucosa pass through the fallopian tubes and escape into the pelvic cavity where they implant themselves on the peritoneum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial implantation | Implantation in which the blastocyst lies within the substance of the endometrium, as in humans and guinea pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eccentric implantation | Implantation in which the blastocyst lies in a uterine crypt, as in the mouse, rat, and hamster. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lens implantation, intraocular | Insertion of an artificial lens following removal of the crystalline lens, usually after cataract extraction. (12 Dec 1998) |
