| 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) |
| absolute terminal innervation ratio | The number of motor endplates divided by the number of terminal axons related to them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino-terminal | <biochemistry> The end of a protein or polypeptide chain with the unattached amino group or the aminoacyl residue containing it. Each amino acid in the chain has an amino group on one side, which is attached to the carboxyl group (COOH group) of the previous amino acid, and a carboxyl group on the other side (which is attached to the amino group of the next amino acid). The other end of the polypeptide chain is called the carboxyl terminal. Synonym: NH2-terminal. (14 Aug 2000) |
| amino-terminal residue | <biochemistry> The only amino acid residue in a polypeptide chain that has a free alpha-amino group, it defines the amino terminus of the polypeptide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| axonal terminal boutons | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
