  2. Bridge (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_(dentistry)

    The taper of each preparation on the abutment teeth must be the same. This is known as parallelism among the abutments and allows the bridge to fit onto the abutment teeth. Adhesive bridges require minimal preparation. Master impressions: An accurate impression should be made of the prepared teeth, along with an impression of the opposing arch ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abutment_(dentistry)

    In dentistry, an abutment is a connecting element. [1] This is used in the context of a fixed bridge (the "abutment teeth" referring to the teeth supporting the bridge), partial removable dentures (the "abutment teeth" referring to the teeth supporting the partial) and in implants (used to attach a crown, bridge, or removable denture to the dental implant fixture).

    Diagram of tooth anatomy. Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.)

  6. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    Dental anatomy is dedicated to the study of tooth structure. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its field of study, though dental occlusion, or contact between teeth, does not. Dental anatomy is also a taxonomic science as it is concerned with the naming of teeth and their structures. This information serves a ...

  7. Crown (tooth) - Wikipedia

  8. Dental notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_notation

    The upper teeth are denoted I 1, I 2, C −, Pm 3, Pm 4, M 1, M 2, and M 3. Left or right has to be specified. The lower teeth are I 1, I 2, C −, Pm 3, Pm 4, M 1, M 2, and M 3. The reason the premolars are labeled 3 and 4 is that in earlier primates there were two other premolars between them and the canines. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(structural_system)

    The diaphragm of a structure often does double duty as the floor system or roof system in a building, or the deck of a bridge, which simultaneously supports gravity loads. [1] Parts of a diaphragm include: [2] the collector (or membrane), used as a shear panel to carry in-plane shear
