A Abbe flap \ăb# e flăp\ [Robert Abbe, New York, N.Y. surgeon, 18511928]: eponym for a lip switch operation. A triangular, full thickness flap from the lower lip used to fill in a deficit in the upper lip. Specifically applied to the midportion of the upper or lower lip— called also lip switch operation Abbe, R. A new plastic operation for the relief of deformity due to double harelip. Med Rec 1898;53:477. ab duct \ăb dŭkt#\ vt (1834): to draw away from the median plane— comp ADDUCT ab er rant \ă-bĕr#ant\ adj (ca. 1798)1: a deviation from the normal or usual course, form, or location 2: straying from the normal way ab frac tion \ăb frăk#shun\ n (1991): the pathologic loss of hard tooth substance caused by biomechanical loading forces. Such loss is thought to be due to flexure and chemical fatigue degradation of enamel and/or dentin at some location distant from the actual point of loading—comp ABLATION, ABRASION, ATTRITION, and EROSION ab la tion \ă-bl a#shun\ n (15c) 1: separation or detachment; extirpation; eradication 2: removal of a part, especially by cutting—see ABFRACTION, EROSION abrade \uh-br ad#\ vt (1677): to rub away the external covering or layer of a part—comp ATTRITION, EROSION abra sion \ă-br a #shun\ n (1656) 1: the wearing away of a substance or structure (such as the skin or the teeth) through some unusual or abnormal mechanical process 2: an abnormal wearing away of the tooth substance by causes other than mastication—comp ATTRITION, EROSION abra sive \uh-br a # siv, -ziv\ n (1853): a substance used for abrading, smoothing, or polishing abra sive \uh-br a # siv, -ziv\ adj (1875) 1: tending to abrade 2: causing irritation—abra sive ly adv, abra sive ness n ab ra si vity \uh-br a#siv-ı̆-t e, -ziv-ı̆-t e\ v (1998): the property of one material to wear away another material by means of frictional contact absorbed dose \ab-sôrbd#,-zôrbd# d os\: the amount of energy from ionizing radiation absorbed per unit mass of matter, expressed in Gray units ab sorp tance \ab-sôrp#tans, -zôrp#tans\ n (ca. 1931): the ratio of the radiant energy absorbed by a body to that incident upon it ab sorp tion \ab-sôrp#shun, -zôrp#-\ n (1741) 1: the uptake of substances into or through tissues, e.g., mucosa, skin, and intestine 2: in radiology, the uptake of energy by matter with which the radiation interacts—see A. of RADIATION—comp ADSORPTION absorption of radiation \ab-sôrp#shun ŭv r a#d ea#shun\: collisionlike interactions between the individual particulate or quantum components of a beam of radiation and the subatomic parts of matter that occur at random during irradiation.

Bruxism defined and graded: an international consensus
Frank Lobbezoo,Jari Ahlberg,A. G. Glaros,Takafumi Kato,Kiyoshi Koyano,Gilles Lavigne,R. de Leeuw,Daniele Manfredini,Peter Svensson,Peter Svensson,E. Winocur +10 more
TL;DR: The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible and proposed a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruXism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bruxism physiology and pathology: an overview for clinicians*
TL;DR: It remains to be clarified when bruxism, as a behaviour found in an otherwise healthy population, becomes a disorder, i.e. associated with consequences (e.g. tooth damage, pain and social/marital conflict) requires intervention by a clinician.
Journal ArticleDOI
The accuracy of implant impressions: a systematic review.
TL;DR: The review of abutment level or implant level internal connection implants indicated that more studies reported greater accuracy with the splint technique than with the nonsplint technique, compared with situations in which there were 3 or fewer implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of digital and conventional impression techniques: evaluation of patients’ perception, treatment comfort, effectiveness and clinical outcomes
TL;DR: Digital impressions resulted in a more time-efficient technique than conventional impressions, and patients preferred the digital impression technique rather than conventional techniques.

Computer-aided technology for fabricating complete dentures: systematic review of historical background, current status, and future perspectives.
TL;DR: A body of scientific literature related to computer-aided technology for complete dentures is emerging and prospective clinical trials with true clinical endpoints are necessary to validate this technology.
