The infantile pattern of suckle swallow in which the tongue is placed between the incisor teeth or alveolar ridges during the initial stages of deglutition, resulting sometimes in an anterior open occlusion, deformation of the jaws, and/or abnormal function.  

Imaging by sections or sectioning. Radiological imaging of serial planes (“cuts”) through an anatomical structure. A noninvasive technique designed to show detailed images of internal structures in a selected plane of the body. The scanning of a particular part of the body using X-rays or ultrasound. Procedure of making a radiographic image of a selected…

An apparatus that is used to create a tomogram. The machine allows for the movement of the film in one direction, while the source of radiation moves in an opposite direction to produce images at a targeted depth within the tissues. An x-ray tube attached to a Bucky diaphragm by a rigid rod allowing rotation…

A radiograph that demonstrates images at various depths based on a method of moving the film during exposure. A picture of part of the body taken by tomography.  

The ability to endure or be less responsive to a stimulus over a period of continued exposure. The power of resisting the action of a poison or of taking a drug continuously or in large doses without injurious effect. Decreasing response to continued use of the same dose of a drug. The ability to endure…

Temporomandibular joint.  

Temporomandibular disorders.  

Amaterial that is reinforced by a titanium structure for increased rigidity.  

A process involving high‐temperature deposition of titanium powders that are totally or partially melted and then rapidly resolidified, forming a dense or porous coating.  

Naturally occurring compounds of titanium and oxygen in various configurations. Chemical formula for titanium oxides are: TiO, TiO2, Ti2O3, and Ti3O5. Titanium oxide occurs naturally on the surface of titanium when it is exposed to air, and it is critical to osseointegration between living bone and a titanium implant.
