interocclusal (in´trkloo´sl),

adj between the occlusal surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth.

interocclusal clearance,

n See clearance, interocclusal.

interocclusal contacts,

n tooth contact between maxillary and mandibular teeth in closure.

interocclusal distance,

n the distance between the maxillary and mandibular teeth when the mandible is in the rest position or other defined position of the mandible to maxillary. See also distance, interocclusal.

record,

n information committed to and preserved in writing or electronically.

record base,

n See baseplate.

record, centric interocclusal,

n a record of the centric jaw position (relation).

record, eccentric interocclusal

n a record of a jaw relation other than the centric relation; a record of a lateral eccentric jaw position.

Eccentric interocclusal record.

record, face-bow,

n registration, by means of a face-bow, of the position of the mandibular axis or the condyles. The face-bow record is used to orient the maxillary cast to the opening and closing axis of the articulator.

record, functional chew-in,

n 1. a record of the natural chewing movement of the mandible made on an occlusion rim by teeth or scribing studs.
n 2. a record of the movements of the mandible made on the occluding surface of the opposing occlusion rim by teeth or scribing studs and produced by simulated chewing movements.

record, interocclusal,

n a record of the positional relation of the teeth or jaws to each other; made on occlusal surfaces of occlusal rims or teeth in a plastic material that hardens, such as plaster of paris, wax, zinc oxide-eugenol paste, or acrylic resin.

record, jaw relation,

n a registration of any positional relationship of the mandible in reference to the maxillae. The record may be of any of the many vertical, horizontal, or orientation relations.

record, maxillomandibular relationship,

n See record, interocclusal.

record, occluding centric relation,

n a registration of centric relation made at the vertical dimension at which the teeth make contact or are to make contact.

record, patient, legal aspects of,

n.pl record must include proper identification of patient, signed consent forms, a complete medical and dental history, progress notes, and clinical observations from patient examinations. Improper record-keeping is grounds for malpractice. Records are also strictly confidential–unauthorized or inappropriate disclosure is an invasion of privacy and liable for legal action.

record, profile,

n a registration or record of the profile of a patient's face.

record, protrusive,

n a registration of the relation of the mandible to the maxillae when the mandible is anterior to its centric relation with the maxillae.

record, protrusive interocclusal,

n a record of a protruded eccentric jaw position.

record rim,

n See rim, occlusion.

record, terminal jaw relation,

n a record of the relationship of the mandible to the maxillae made at the vertical relation of the occlusion and at the centric position.

record, three-dimensional,

n a maxillomandibular interocclusal record.
