  2. Intrusion (orthodontics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion_(orthodontics)

    A certain intrusive force acting on the incisors is counter-acted by an opposite and equal extrusive force acting at the posterior teeth of the same arch. The extrusive force is felt at buccal of the center of resistance of a molar tooth because the bracket slot in the molar tube or band lies buccal to the tooth.

  3. Dental trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_trauma

    Splinting should only be used in certain situations. Splinting in lateral and extrusive luxation had a poorer prognosis than in root fractures. [35] An avulsed permanent tooth should be gently rinsed under tap water and immediately re-planted in its original socket within the alveolar bone and later temporarily splinted by a dentist. [4]

  4. Molar distalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_distalization

    Molar distalization is a process in the field of Orthodontics which is used to move molar teeth, especially permanent first molars, distally (backwards) in an arch.This procedure is often used in treatment of patients who have Class 2 malocclusion. [1]

  5. Joint dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_dislocation

    A joint dislocation, also called luxation, occurs when there is an abnormal separation in the joint, where two or more bones meet. [1] A partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation . Dislocations are often caused by sudden trauma on the joint like an impact or fall.

  6. Igneous intrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igneous_intrusion

    Intrusive igneous rocks are classified separately from extrusive igneous rocks, generally on the basis of their mineral content. The relative amounts of quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and feldspathoid is particularly important in classifying intrusive igneous rocks. [9] [10] Intrusions must displace existing country rock to make room for ...

  7. Phonolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonolite

    Phonolite is an uncommon shallow intrusive or extrusive rock, of intermediate chemical composition between felsic and mafic, with texture ranging from aphanitic (fine-grained) to porphyritic (mixed fine- and coarse-grained).

  9. Feldspar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldspar

    Feldspars crystallize from magma as both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks [7] and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock. [8] Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar is known as anorthosite. [9] Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rocks. [10]
