| denture, partial | A denture replacing one or more (but not all) natural teeth. It is supported and retained by underlying tissue and some or all of the remaining teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| denture, partial, fixed | A partial denture attached to prepared natural teeth, roots, or implants by cementation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture, partial, fixed, resin-bonded | A commonly used prosthesis that results in a strong, permanent restoration. It consists of an electrolytically etched cast-metal retainer that is cemented (bonded), using resins, to adjacent teeth whose enamel was previously acid-treated (acid-etched). This type of bridgework is sometimes referred to as a maryland bridge. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture, partial, immediate | A partial denture constructed before the teeth it replaces are removed. It is then inserted immediately after the removal of the natural teeth for functional and cosmetic reasons during the healing process. It is to be replaced later by the fitted partial denture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture, partial, removable | A partial denture designed and constructed to be removed readily from the mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture, partial, temporary | A partial denture intended for short-term use in a temporary or emergency situation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| opioid partial agonist | <pharmacology> A compound that has an affinity for and stimulates physiologic activity at the same cell receptors as opioid agonists but that produces only a partial (i.e., submaximal) bodily response. (16 Dec 1997) |
| total or partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections | Connections in which some or all of the pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium or one of its tributaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilepsy, partial | Epileptic seizures that originate at a specific location or focal point in the cortex of the brain and either remain localised or may generalise. These seizures occur without the loss of consciousness of the individual. The specific clinical symptoms depend on the area of the cortex involved. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fixed partial denture | A restoration of one or more missing teeth which cannot be readily removed by the patient or dentist; it is permanently attached to natural teeth or roots which furnish the primary support to the appliance. Synonym: bridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of partial pressures | Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts a pressure proportionate to the percentage of the gas and independent of the presence of the other gases present. Synonym: law of partial pressures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant complex | An anomalous electrocardiographic complex, more specifically an abnormal ventricular complex caused by abnormal intraventricular conduction of a supraventricular impulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated complex | <chemistry> State of highest energy during a reaction. When reactants form the activated complex, bond breaking and bond formation is occurring. Synonym: transition state. (09 Jan 1998) |
| AIDS dementia complex | <immunology> A frequent cerebral condition in people with AIDS that results in the loss of cognitive capacity, affecting the ability to function in a social or occupational setting. Its cause has not been determined exactly, but may result from HIV infection of cells in the brain or an inflammatory reaction to such infection. (09 Oct 1997) |
| aids-related complex | A prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Laboratory criteria separating aids-related complex (arc) from aids include elevated or hyperactive B-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in aids; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in arc lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of aids; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown aids.
