Composite material

A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials.

See Pivot tooth and Composite material

Cotton

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae.

See Pivot tooth and Cotton

Crown (dental restoration)

In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Pivot tooth and crown (dental restoration) are Prosthodontology.

Dental cement

Dental cements have a wide range of dental and orthodontic applications.

See Pivot tooth and Dental cement

A dental impression is a negative imprint of hard and soft tissues in the mouth from which a positive reproduction, such as a cast or model, can be formed. Pivot tooth and dental impression are dentistry.

See Pivot tooth and Dental impression

Dental prosthesis

A dental prosthesis is an intraoral (inside the mouth) prosthesis used to restore (reconstruct) intraoral defects such as missing teeth, missing parts of teeth, and missing soft or hard structures of the jaw and palate. Pivot tooth and dental prosthesis are dentistry and Prosthodontology.

See Pivot tooth and Dental prosthesis

Dental technician

A dental technician is a member of the dental team who, upon prescription from a dental clinician, constructs custom-made restorative and dental appliances.

See Pivot tooth and Dental technician

Erosion

Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust and then transports it to another location where it is deposited.

See Pivot tooth and Erosion

Fineness

The fineness of a precious metal object (coin, bar, jewelry, etc.) represents the weight of fine metal therein, in proportion to the total weight which includes alloying base metals and any impurities.

See Pivot tooth and Fineness

Focal infection theory

Focal infection theory is the historical concept that many chronic diseases, including systemic and common ones, are caused by focal infections.
