| disto-occlusion | A tooth occluding in a position distal to normal. Synonym: disto-occlusion, postnormal occlusion, retrusive occlusion. Synonym: distoclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusion | 1. The act of closure or state of being closed. 2. The relationship between all of the components of the masticatory system in normal function, dysfunction and parafunction. 3. Momentary complete closure of some area in the vocal tract, causing stoppage of the breath and accumulation of pressure. Origin: L. Occlusio (18 Nov 1997) |
| occlusion of pupil | The presence of an opaque membrane closing the pupillary area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusion rim | Occluding surfaces built on temporary or permanent denture bases for the purpose of making maxillomandibular relation records and for arranging teeth. Synonym: bite rim, occlusal rim, record rim. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
