| gingival retraction | Lateral movement of the gingival margin away from the tooth surface; may be indicative of underlying inflammation or pocket formation, displacement of the marginal gingivae away from the tooth by mechanical, chemical, or surgical means. Mandibular retraction, a type of facial anomaly in which the gnathion lies posterior to the orbital plane. (05 Mar 2000) |

| gingival septum | interdental papilla |
| gingival space | The space between the surface of the tooth and the free gingiva. Synonym: sulcus gingivalis, gingival crevice, gingival space, subgingival space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival sulcus | The space between the surface of the tooth and the free gingiva. Synonym: sulcus gingivalis, gingival crevice, gingival space, subgingival space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival tissues | The gum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gingival zone | That portion of the oral mucosa which surrounds the teeth and is firmly attached to the underlying alveolar bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibromatosis, gingival | Generalised or localised diffuse fibrous overgrowth of the gingival tissue, usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, but some cases are idiopathic and others produced by drugs. The enlarged gingiva is pink, firm, and has a leather-like consistency with a minutely pebbled surface and in severe cases the teeth are almost completely covered and the enlargement projects into the oral vestibule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior auricular branches of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves | Medial mammary branches of anterior cutaneous branches of ventral primary rami of thoracic spinal nerves. See: medial mammary branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic artery | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior alveolar branches of infraorbital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The branches of the superior alveolar nerve that supply the incisors, canines, premolars, and first molar by their contributions to the superior dental plexus. Synonym: rami alveolares superiores anteriores nervi infraorbitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central branches | Branches of the anterior communicating artery which supply part of the hypothalamus. Synonym: rami centrales anteromediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial branches | The atrial branches, the branches of the right coronary artery and the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery distributed to the right and left atrium, respectively. Synonym: rami atriales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branches of segmental bronchi | Branches of segmental bronchi to the bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs. Synonym: rami bronchiales segmentorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
