Tooth Loss
|
D016388 |
[The failure to retain teeth as a result of disease or injury.
] |
|
Tooth Migration
|
D014085 |
[The movement of teeth into altered positions in relationship to the basal bone of the ALVEOLAR PROCESS and to adjoining and opposing teeth as a result of loss of approximating or opposing teeth, occlusal interferences, habits, inflammatory and dystrophic disease of the attaching and supporting structures of the teeth. (From Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)
] |
|
Tooth Mobility
|
D014086 |
[Horizontal and, to a lesser degree, axial movement of a tooth in response to normal forces, as in occlusion. It refers also to the movability of a tooth resulting from loss of all or a portion of its attachment and supportive apparatus, as seen in periodontitis, occlusal trauma, and periodontosis. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p507 & Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p313)

|
Tooth Movement Techniques
|
D014087 |
[Orthodontic techniques used to correct the malposition of a tooth or teeth.
] |
|
Tooth Permeability
|
D014088 |
[The property of TEETH to permit passage of light, heat, gases, liquids, metabolites, mineral ions and other substances. It does not include the penetration of the teeth by microorganisms.

|
Tooth Preparation
|
D019246 |
[Procedures carried out with regard to the teeth or tooth structures preparatory to specified dental therapeutic and surgical measures.
] |
|
Tooth Preparation, Prosthodontic
|
D019231 |
[The selected form given to a natural tooth when it is reduced by instrumentation to receive a prosthesis (e.g., artificial crown or a retainer for a fixed or removable prosthesis). The selection of the form is guided by clinical circumstances and physical properties of the materials that make up the prosthesis. (Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p239)

Tooth Remineralization
|
D014089 |
[Therapeutic technique for replacement of minerals in partially decalcified teeth.
] |
|
Tooth Replantation
|
D014090 |
[Reinsertion of a tooth into the alveolus from which it was removed or otherwise lost.
] |
|
Tooth Resorption
|
D014091 |
[Resorption of calcified dental tissue, involving demineralization due to reversal of the cation exchange and lacunar resorption by osteoclasts. There are two types: external (as a result of tooth pathology) and internal (apparently initiated by a peculiar inflammatory hyperplasia of the pulp). (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p676)

|
Tooth Root
|
D014092 |
[The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p690)

|
Tooth Socket
|
D020390 |
[A hollow part of the alveolar process of the MAXILLA or MANDIBLE where each tooth fits and is attached via the periodontal ligament.
] |
|
Tooth Wear
|
D057085 |
[Loss of the tooth substance by chemical or mechanical processes
] |
|
Tooth, Artificial
|
D014093 |
[A fabricated tooth substituting for a natural tooth in a prosthesis. It is usually made of porcelain or plastic.
] |
|
Tooth, Deciduous
|
D014094 |
[The teeth of the first dentition, which are shed and replaced by the permanent teeth.
] |
|
Tooth, Impacted
|
D014095 |
[A tooth that is prevented from erupting by a physical barrier, usually other teeth. Impaction may also result from orientation of the tooth in an other than vertical position in the periodontal structures.
] |
|
Tooth, Nonvital
|
D019553 |
[A tooth from which the dental pulp has been removed or is necrotic. (Boucher, Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)
] |
|
Tooth, Supernumerary
|
D014096 |
[An extra tooth, erupted or unerupted, resembling or unlike the other teeth in the group to which it belongs. Its presence may cause malposition of adjacent teeth or prevent their eruption.
] |
|
Tooth, Unerupted
|
D014097 |
[A normal developing tooth which has not yet perforated the oral mucosa or one that fails to erupt in the normal sequence or time interval expected for the type of tooth in a given gender, age, or population group.
] |
|
Toothache
|
D014098 |
[Pain in the adjacent areas of the teeth.
