Techniques or therapies used to alter or control the actions of a patient who is receiving dental treatment. Examples include use of a papoose board education or anxiety relief techniques.
behavior_management
The mild or non-threatening character of an illness or the non-malignant character of a neoplasm.
benign
A premolar tooth; a tooth with two cusps.
bicuspid
Occurring on or pertaining to both right and left sides.
bilateral
Agents that alter wound healing or host-tumor interaction. Such materials can include cytokines growth factor or vaccines but do not include any actual hard or soft tissue graft material. These agents are added to graft material or used alone to effect acceleration of healing or regeneration in hard and soft tissue surgical procedures. Also known as biologic response modifiers.
biologic_materials
Process of removing tissue for histologic evaluation.
biopsy
Interproximal radiographic view of the coronal portion of the tooth/teeth. A form of dental radiograph that may be taken with the long axis of the image oriented either horizontally or vertically that reveals approximately the coronal halves of the maxillary and mandibular teeth and portions of the interdental alveolar septa on the same image.
bitewing_radiograph
Process of lightening of the teeth usually using a chemical oxidizing agent and sometimes in the presence of heat. Removal of deep seated intrinsic or acquired discolorations from crowns of vital and non-vital teeth through the use of chemicals sometimes in combination with the application of heat and light. Bleaching has been achieved through short and long term applications of pastes or solutions containing various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Normally applied externally to teeth; may be used internally for endodontically treated teeth.
bleaching
Process by which two or more components are made integral by mechanical and/or chemical adhesion at their interface.
bonding
See tooth bounded space.
bounded_tooth_space
See fixed partial denture.
bridge
The parafunctional grinding of the teeth.
bruxism
Pertaining to or toward the cheek (as in the buccal surface of a posterior tooth).
buccal
A written description of the service provided that is prepared when the term "by report" is included in a procedure code nomenclature; must be part of the patient’s record and included on the claim submission.
by_report
Hard deposit of mineralized substance adhering to crowns and/or roots of teeth or prosthetic devices.
calculus
A relatively narrow tubular passage or channel.
canal
Part of a fixed prosthesis that extends beyond the abutment to which it is attached and has no additional support.
cantilever_extension
Commonly used term for tooth decay.
caries
A cavity caused by caries.
carious_lesion
See diagnostic cast or study model.
cast
Missing tooth structure. A cavity may be due to decay erosion or abrasion. If caused by caries; also referred to as carious lesion.
cavity
Material used under a filling to replace lost tooth structure.
cement_base
Hard connective tissue covering the outer surface of a tooth root.
cementum
A standardized extraoral projection utilized in the scientific study of the measurements of the head.
cephalometric_image
see porcelain/ceramic.
ceramic
See definition under direct.
chairside
Congenital deformity resulting in lack of fusion of the soft and/or hard palate either partial or complete.
cleft_palate
The clamping and pressing of the jaws and teeth together in centric occlusion frequently associated with psychological stress or physical effort.
clenching
That portion of a tooth not covered by tissues.
clinical_crown
The re-approximation of segments of a fractured bone without direct visualization of the boney segments.
closed_reduction
A prosthetic for the edentulous maxillary or mandibular arch replacing the full dentition. Usually includes six anterior teeth and eight posterior teeth.
complete_denture
A set of intraoral radiographs usually consisting of 14 to 22 periapical and posterior bitewing images intended to display the crowns and roots of all teeth periapical areas and alveolar bone crest (source: FDA/ADA radiographic guidelines).
complete_series
A dental restorative material made up of disparate or separate parts (e.g. resin and quartz particles). See resin.
composite
Break in bone which is exposed to external contamination.
compound_fracture
See evaluation.
comprehensive_oral_evaluation
See definition of minimal sedation under anesthesia.
conscious_sedation
In a dental setting a diagnostic service provided by a dentist where the dentist patient or other parties (e.g. another dentist physician or legal guardian) discuss the patient's dental needs and proposed treatment modalities.
consultation
Adjacent; touching.
contiguous
A thin covering of the coronal portion of the tooth usually without anatomic conformity. Custom made or pre-fabricated thimble-shaped core or base layer designed to fit over a natural tooth preparation a post core or implant abutment so as to act as a substructure onto which other components can be added to give final form to a restoration or prosthesis. It can be used as a definitive restoration or as part of a transfer procedure.
coping
the replacement of a part or all of the crown of a tooth whose purpose is to provide a base for the retention of an indirectly fabricated crown.
core_buildup
Refers to the crown of a tooth.
coronal
A collection of symptoms characterized by transient acute pain experienced when chewing.
cracked_tooth_syndrome
An artificial replacement that restores missing tooth structure by surrounding the remaining coronal tooth structure or is placed on a dental implant. It is made of metal ceramic or polymer materials or a combination of such materials. It is retained by luting cement or mechanical means. (American College of Prosthodontics; The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms). See also abutment crown anatomical crown and clinical crown.
A surgical procedure exposing more tooth for restorative purposes by apically positioning the gingival margin and removing supporting bone.
crown_lengthening
crown
Clinical laboratory test which identifies a microorganism and the ability of various antibiotics to control the microorganism.
culture_and_sensitivity_test
Scraping and cleaning the walls of a real or potential space such as a gingival pocket or bone to remove pathologic material.
curettage
Pointed or rounded eminence on or near the masticating surface of a tooth.
cusp
Single cusped tooth located between the incisors and bicuspids.
cuspid
Pathological cavity usually lined with epithelium containing fluid or soft matter.
cyst
The study of cells including their anatomy chemistry physiology and pathology.
