analgesia |
analgesia |
|
| insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness; a state in which painful stimuli are not perceived or interpreted as pain; usually induced by a drug, although trauma or a disease process may produce a general or regional analgesia. |
| |
| |
analgesico |
analgesic |
|
| (analgetic), 1. the property of a drug that enables it to raise the pain threshold. n 2. an analgesic may be classified in one of two groups: an analgesic that blocks the sensory neural pathways of pain (for example, procaine and its derivatives) or an analgesic that acts directly on the thalamus to raise the pain threshold. |

ancoraggio extracoronale |
retainer, extracoronal |
|
| 1. a type of retainer in which the preparation and its cast restoration lie largely external to the body of the coronal portion of the tooth and complement the contour of the crown. The retention or resistance to displacement is developed between the inner surfaces of the casting and the external walls of the prepared tooth. The extracoronal retainer may be a partial crown or a complete crown. 2. a direct retainer of the clasp type that engages an abutment tooth on its external surface in such a way as to afford retention and stabilization to a removable partial denture; a direct retainer of the manufactured type, the male portion of which is attached to the external surface of a cast crown on an abutment tooth (e.g., Dalbo and Crismani attachments). |

ancoraggio extramascellare |
anchorage, extramaxillary |
|
|
| |
| |
ancoraggio extraorale |
anchorage, extraoral |
|
| an orthodontic anchorage based outside the mouth. Dental attachments are typically linked to a wire bow or hooks extending between the lips and attached elastically to a cap, a strap around the neck, or another extraoral device. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio intermascellare |
anchorage, intermaxillary |
|
| an anchorage based in the opposite jaw. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio intracoronale |
retainer, intracoronal |
|
| 1. a type of retainer in which the prepared cavity and its cast restoration lie largely within the body of the coronal portion of the tooth and within the contour of the crown (for example, inlay). The retention or resistance to displacement is developed between the casting and the internal walls of the prepared cavity. 2. the type of direct retainer used in the construction of removable partial dentures; it consists of a female portion within the coronal portion of the crown of an abutment and a fitted male portion attached to the denture proper. These retainers may be fabricated in the dental office or obtained through commercial sources. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio intramascellare |
anchorage, intramaxillary |
|
| an anchorage based on teeth within the same jaw. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio intraorale |
anchorage, intraoral |
|
| an anchorage based within the mouth (intermaxillary, intramaxillary, or myofunctional). |
| |
| |
ancoraggio occipitale |
anchorage, occipital |
|
| a cranial anchorage based in the occipital area. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio radicolare |
retainer, radicular |
|
| a type of retainer that lies within the body of the tooth and is usually confined to the root portion of the tooth (for example, dowel crown). The retention or resistance to displacement and shear is developed by extending an attached dowel into the root canal of the tooth. |
| |
| |
ancoraggio reciproco |
anchorage, reciprocal |
|
| all anchorage is reciprocal; sometimes used to describe a force system in which the resistance units are similar. |
