| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| exodontia | extraction of a tooth |
| horizontal impaction | the tooth is horizontally tilted |
| vertical impaction | tooth is in the upright position but in close proximity to, or under the crown of a nearby tooth |
| distoangular impaction | crown of the tooth is slanted toward the distal surface and covered by tissue and/or bone |
| masioangular impaction | crown of the tooth is mesially tilted and covered by tissue and/or bone |
| transverse impaction | tooth is situated sideways to the adjacent teeth and occlusal plane, and is covered by tissue and/or bone |
| alveolectomy | a procedure when multiple teeth are extracted, the alceeolar bone crests have to be removed and smoothed to prepare the ridges for denture or appliance wear |
| template | (pattern)is used as a guide |
| alveolitis | infection or inflammation of the alveolar process |
| dry socket | the loss of the natural clotting |
| gingivectomy | surgical excision of unattached gingival tissue |
| gingivoplasty | surgical recountour of gingival tissues |
| periodontal flap surgery | surgical excision and removal of pocket or tissue extension |
| frenectomy | surgical removal or resectioning of a frenum |
| diastema | a space between two teeth |
| ankyloglossia | shortness of tongue frenum "tongue tied" |
| incision and drainage (I & D) | procedure performed for a periodontal abscess. an incision is made into the affected area and an opening is obtained to remove and drain infected matter |
| malady | (disease or disorder) |
| biopsy | small tissue incision |
| incision biopsy | removing a wedge-shaped section of affected tissue along with some normal adjacent tissue |
| excision biopsy | removing the entire lesion of affected tissue with some underlying normal tissue |
| exfoliative biopsy | scraping with glass slide or tongue depressor to collect tissue cells for micropscopic study |
| malignant | harmful or growing worse |
| benign | tumors that are not harmful |
| leukoplakia | formation of white pathes on musous membrane of oral cavity that cannot be scraped off and have the potential for malignancy |
| fibroma | benign, fibrous, encapsulated tumor of connective tissue |
| papilloma | benign epithelial tumor of skin or mucous membrane |
| hemangioma | benign tumor of dilated blood vessels |
| granuloma | grandular tumor usually occurring with other diseases |
| melanoma | malignant, pigmented mole or tumor |
| basal or squamous cell carcinoma | malignant growth of epithelial cells |
| osteoplasty | forming bone |
| alveolectomy | usually performed to remove alveolar bone crests remaining after tooth extraction in perparation for a smooth bone ridge for denture wear |
| apicoectomy | usually requires opening of the periodontium, including some alveolar bone, and exposure with remocal of the root apex |
| exostosis | bony outgrowth, removing overgrowths and smoothing in preparation for dentures |
| torus | (rounded elevation)an excessive bone growth |
| mandibularis | torus in the mandible |
| palatinus | torus in the palate |
| cysts | abnormal, closed walled sac present in or around tissue |
| dentigerous | cystic sac containing teeth |
| radicular | cyst located alongside or at the apex of a tooth root |
| ranula | cystic tumor found on underside of the tongue or in the sublingual or submaxillary ducts |
| closed fracture reduction | repair with interoral fixation, tooth wiring, or ligation methods in which the teeth are "wired together" in proper alignment awaiting bone healing |
| open fracture reduction | a more complicated procedure incolcing osteotomy and rigid fixation, perhaps bone plate, mesh, pins, grafts and other fixation divices. |
| genioplasty | plastic surgery of the chin or cheek |
| macrogenia | large or excessive chin |
| microgenia | undersized chin |
| lateral excessive/deficient | excessive bone in one direction and deficient bone in another |
| asymmetrical | lack of balance of size and shape on opposite sides |
| pseudomacrogenia | excess of soft tissue presenting a chin with the look of abnormal size |
| ptosis | drooping or sagging of an organ "witches chin" |
| osteotomy | bone incision |
| orthognathic surgery | surgical manipulation of the facial skeleton to restore facial esthetics and proper function to a congenital, developmental, or trauma-affected patient |
| ridge augmentation | use of bone grafts to build or correct an underdeveloped or missing ridge |
| arthrotomy | cutting into a join |
| retrusive | position with mandible backward |
| crepitus | joint pain |
| protrusive | position with mandible forward |
| lateral | position to the side: mesiolateral is toward center of face, distolateral is toward outside of face |
| computerized mandibular scan (CMS) | 3-D tracking device to record functional movement of the jaw during opening, closing, chewing, and swallowing |
| electyromyohraph (EMG) | surface electrodes instrument to determine muscle activity during function: healthy muscles have low levels of electrical activity, and disarranged muscles register high activity |
| electrosonograph (ESG) | recording of sounds during opening and closing of the jaw |
| CT (CAT scan) | uses x-ray images taken at different angles and computerized into a cross section of anatomical features. |
| hemiarthroplasty | surgical repair of a joint with a partial joint implant reconstruction |
| alloplastic reconstruction | rebuilding of the joint using manmade materials |
| autogenous reconstruction | rebuilding of the joint using organic material, such as toe and rib bone grafts |
| total joint reconstruction | surgical intervention and use of artificial prostheses for the condyle, disc, and fossa of the temporal bone |
| revision surgery | surgical correction of an area that has been operated upon previously, occurring when further degeneration happens, when previous implants have failed, or when going from a partial joint implant to a total implant |
| cleft lip | tissue fissure or imcomplete juncture of maxillary lip tissues |
| cleft palate | congenital fissure in roof of mouth with an opening into the nasal cavity; may be unilateral (one-sided) or bilateral (two-sided); also may be complete or incomplete |
| cleft tongue | bifid or split tongue; usually split at the tip |
| endosteal implants | placement within the bone |
| osseointegrated implants | placement within the bone |
| subperiosteal | beneath the periosteum and placed onto the bone |
| transosteal | (through the mandibular bone) anchor implants that are placed all the way through the mandible |
| endodontic | (within the tooth) titanium post placed in the apex of an endodontically treated tooth to improve the crown-root length ratio |
| titanum | high strength; oxidizes redily on contact with tissue fluid and has a minimum amount of corrosion |
| ceramic | is biocompatible but is not used in stressful areas |
| polymers and composites | in the research stage; may be used as abutments in partially edentulous mouth |
| stainless steel and cobalt-chromium alloys | older but less used materials |
| cobalt-chromium-molybdenum | implant material used in prosthesis construction for TMJ replacement |
