| sickle form | The male or female gametocyte(s) of Plasmodium falciparum, whose presence in human red blood cells is diagnostic of falciparum malaria. Synonym: crescent, sickle form. Myopic crescent, a white or grayish white crescentic area in the fundus of the eye located on the temporal side of the optic disk; caused by atrophy of the choroid, permitting the sclera to become visible. Synonym: myopic conus. Sublingual crescent, the crescent-shaped area on the floor of the mouth formed by the lingual wall of the mandible and the adjacent part of the floor of the mouth.

| spherical form of occlusion | An arrangement of teeth which places their occlusal surfaces on the surface of an imaginary sphere (usually 8 inches in diameter) with its centre above the level of the teeth. See: Monson curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| involution form | An irregular or atypical bacterial cell produced as a result of exposure to unfavorable conditions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal form | The form of the occlusal surface of a tooth or a row of teeth. Synonym: occlusal pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| outline form | The shape of the area of the tooth surface included within the cavosurface margins of the cavity preparation of a dental restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
