stabilized occlusion
| vascular occlusion | A sudden blockage of a blood vessel usually with a blood clot. Blockage of a vein results in deep venous thrombosis. Blockage of an artery results in a surgical emergency. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| gliding occlusion | <dentistry> The contact relationship of the occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower teeth when moving into and away from centric occlusion. Synonym: gliding occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mechanically balanced occlusion | A balanced occlusion without reference to physiologic considerations, as on an articulator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pathogenic occlusion | An occlusal relationship capable of producing pathologic changes in the supporting tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central retinal artery occlusion | <ophthalmology> The sudden blockage of the retinal artery with a blood clot that commonly leads to a painless but irreversible blindness in that eye. (12 Jan 1998) |
| central retinal vein occlusion | <ophthalmology> The sudden blockage of the retinal vein with blood clot that commonly leads to a painless irreversible blindness in that eye. (12 Jan 1998) |
| centric occlusion | The relation of opposing occlusal surfaces which provides the maximum planned contact and/or intercuspation, the occlusion of the teeth when the mandible is in centric relation to the maxillae. Synonym: centric contact. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal artery occlusion | Occlusion or closure of the central retinal artery causing sudden, usually nearly complete, loss of vision in one eye. Occlusion of the branch retinal artery causes sudden visual loss in only a portion of the visual field. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal vein occlusion | <ophthalmology> Occlusion of the retinal vein. Those at high risk for this condition include patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, and other cardiovascular diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retrusive occlusion | A biting relationship in which the mandible is forcefully or habitually placed more distally than the patient's centric occlusion. Synonym: distal occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| graft occlusion | <physiology> Obstruction of flow in biological or prosthetic vascular grafts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric artery occlusion | Obstruction of arterial flow in the mesenteric circulation by an embolus or thrombus; usually refers to occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, although atherosclerotic narrowing may involve all three major splanchnic branches (coeliac, superior, and inferior mesenteric). (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenteric vascular occlusion | Obstruction of the flow in the mesenteric circulation by atherosclerosis, emboli or thrombi, stenosis, trauma, and compression or intrinsic pressure from adjacent tumours. Rare causes are drugs, intestinal parasites, and vascular immunoinflammatory diseases such as periarteritis nodosa and thromboangiitis obliterans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesial occlusion | Occlusion in which the mandibular teeth articulate with the maxillary teeth in a position anterior to normal. Synonym: anterior occlusion, mesio-occlusion. Synonym: mesioclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesio-occlusion | Occlusion in which the mandibular teeth articulate with the maxillary teeth in a position anterior to normal. Synonym: anterior occlusion, mesio-occlusion. Synonym: mesioclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
