| tooth cervix | The constricted part of the tooth at the junction of the crown and root or roots. It is often referred to as the cementoenamel junction (cej), the line at which the cementum covering the root of a tooth and the enamel of the tooth meet. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone demineralization, pathologic | Decrease, loss, or removal of the mineral constituents of bones. Temporary loss of bone mineral content is especially associated with space flight, weightlessness, and extended immobilization. Osteoporosis is permanent, includes reduction of total bone mass, and is associated with increased rate of fractures. Calcification, physiologic is the process of bone remineralizing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathologic | 1. Indicative of or caused by a morbid condition. 2. Pertaining to pathology (branch of medicine that treats the essential nature of the disease, especially the structural and functional changes in tissues and organs of the body caused by the disease). (18 Nov 1997) |
