| eccentric occlusion | Any occlusion other than centric. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| edge-to-edge occlusion | An occlusion in which the anterior teeth of both jaws meet along their incisal edges when the teeth are in centric occlusion. Synonym: edge-to-edge bite, end-to-end bite, end-to-end occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| torsive occlusion | A malposition of a tooth in which it is rotated on its long axis. Synonym: torsive occlusion, torsoclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| end-to-end occlusion | An occlusion in which the anterior teeth of both jaws meet along their incisal edges when the teeth are in centric occlusion. Synonym: edge-to-edge bite, end-to-end bite, end-to-end occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| traumatic occlusion | A malocclusion capable of producing injury to the teeth and/or associated structures. Synonym: traumatic occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| traumatogenic occlusion | A malocclusion capable of producing injury to the teeth and/or associated structures. Synonym: traumatic occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labial occlusion | Malposition of a tooth in a labial direction, the occlusion as seen from the labial side of the arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occlusion | Malposition of a tooth or an entire dental arch in a direction away from the midline. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional occlusion | Any tooth contacts made within the functional range of the opposing teeth surfaces, occlusion which occurs during function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| line of occlusion | The alignment of the occluding surfaces of the teeth in the horizontal plane. See: occlusal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual occlusion | Interdigitation of the teeth as seen from the internal or lingual aspect. See: linguoclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetone compound | <biochemistry> Any of the three compounds created by acetyl coenzyme A (acetoacetate, hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) which are water-soluble cellular fuels normally exported by the liver. They can build up in the blood and body tissues because of starvation, untreated diabetes mellitus, or other disorders that interfere with carbohydrate metabolism. The body rids itself of ketones mainly through urine, but it rids itself of acetone through the lungs, which gives the breath a characteristic fruity odour. If ketones build up in the body long enough, they cause serious illness and coma (see ketoacidosis.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| acyclic compound | An organic compound in which the chain does not form a ring. Synonym: aliphatic compound, open chain compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| addition compound | Strictly, a complex of two or more complete molecules in which each preserves its fundamental structure and no covalent bonds are made or broken (e.g., hydrates of salts, adducts), loosely, association of acids with basic organic compound's (e.g., amines with HCl), more loosely, addition of two molecules without loss of any atom, but forming new covalent bonds (e.g., CH2==CH2 + Br2 → BrCH2-CH2Br).

| aliphatic compound | An organic compound in which the chain does not form a ring. Synonym: aliphatic compound, open chain compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
