Stensen's duct Also known as parotid duct, located in an area just below and in front of the ear
Bifurcated roots Division into two roots
Concave Curved inward
Lines of Retzius Incremental rings, like growth rings of a tree, representing variations in the deposition of the enamel matrix during formation of the tooth
Neonatal lines Enamel produced prenatally contains only a few of these incremental lines; however, the shock of birth is registered as a ring known as the neonatal lines
Imbrication lines Slightly rigids on the cervical third of certain teeth that extends mesiodistally
Nasmyth's membrane Primary teeth may erupt with covering over the enamel, left over from the epithelium and the ameloblasts, can pick up stains easily, removed by a thorough polishing
Deciduous All baby or primary teeth
RPM Rotation/revolutions per minute (10,000 to 30,000- speed ranges)
Arch Upper jaw or lower jaw
Modified pen grasp The instrument is held in the same manner as a pen
Modified palm grasp The instrument is held securely in the palm of the hand
Modified palm-thumb grasp The instrument is held in the palm, and the thumb is used to stabilize and guide the instrument
Non vital tooth Not living in the oral tissue and tooth structure
Tetracycline stain Type of intrinsic stain can occur in the child when the mother is given
Stroke Movement of position
Intermittent Breaks in the motion, allows the heat to dissipate
Sulcus Space between the tooth and the free gingiva
Alveolar bone The bone that supports the tooth in its position within the jaw. The alveolar socket is the cavity in the bone that surrounds the tooth
Epithelial attachment Tissue at the base of the sulcus where the gingiva attaches to the tooth
ANUG (Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis) Tissues present with bleeding, infection, pain, and a foul odor
Curettage Involves scraping or cleaning the gingival lining of the pocket with a sharp curette to remove necrotic tissue from the pocket wall. Gingival curettage is also referred to as subgingival curettage
Pulp chambers The space occupied by the pulp
Protozoa Single-celled microscopic animals without a rigid cell wall. Found in freshwater and marine habitats and in moist soil. Their diet include bacteria, small algae, and other protozoa
Prior to Before doing something
Asepsis Maintaining the chain of asepsis for a procedure requires that the instruments, surgical drapes, and gloved hands of the surgical team be sterilized

Anatomical crown The portion of the dentin covered by enamel
Clinical crown The portion of the tooth that is visible in the oral cavity
Slightly Very small in size, degree, amount, or importance
Bulk Large size or mass
Biological indicator Also known as spore tests, are vial or strips of paper that contain harmless bacterial spores (spores are highly resistant to heat) BIs are used to determine if sterilization has occurred and all bacteria and endospores have been killed
Process indicators Identify instrument packs that have been exposed to a certain temperature; they do not measure the duration or the pressure
Alveolar crest Is the highest point of the alveolar ridge
Alveolar Process The thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets on bones that bear teeth (maxilla and mandible)
Periodontium Supports the teeth in the alveolar bone. These tissues also protect and nourish the teeth
Cementum Covers the root of the tooth. The primary function so the cementum is to anchor the tooth to the bony socket with the attachments of the periodontal ligaments
Contradictions Opposing statement; as statement, or the making of a statement, that opposes or disagrees with somebody or something
Routine prophylaxis Basically a dental term for a regular teeth cleaning
Fulcrum (Finger rest) Area used interchangeably to describe the placement of the third, or ring finger of the hand, which holds the instrument or handpiece
Periodontal scaling Used to remove supragingival calculus
Periodontal pocket Occurs when the disease caused the gingival sulcus to become deeper than normal
Periodontal ligament Dense connective fibers that connect the cementum covering the root of the tooth with the alveolar bone of the socket wall
Interradicular septum The bone separating the roots of a multi-rooted tooth
Interdental septum The bony projection separating one socket from another
Socket Shaped hole or connection
Lamina dura Also known as the cribriform plate, is thin, compact bone that lines the alveolar socket
Stippled Make surface material appear grainy; dapple surface with dots
Tongue Inside the mouth used for tasting, licking, swallowing, and speech

Apex Same as apical
Apical foramen A natural opening in the tip of the root

Cingulum On anterior teeth, a rounded, raised area on the cervical third of the lingual surface
Grooves Lines on the tooth
Furcation Area between two or more root branches
Fossa A hollow, grooved, or depressed area in bone
Cusp of Carabelli The fifth cusp on the maxillary first molar, is found palatal to the mesiopalatal cusp. It is often so poorly developed that it is scarcely distinguishable
