a middle zone of the periodontal membrane situated between the cemental group of fibers attached to the root of the tooth and the alveolar group of fibers attached to the alveolar bone
Intubation
the insertion of a tube into the larynx
Isoflurane
an inhalant form of anesthesia

an instrument used for endotracheal intubation
Manipulation
skillful or dextrous treatment by the hands

creating a level occlusal surface
Odontoplasty
the process of recontouring a tooth surface, which is not limited to leveling an occlusal surface
Omnivore
animals that eat both plants and meat
Otoscope
instrument used to look in the ears
Palpation
the technique of examining parts of the body by touching and feeling them

a localized collection of pus in a cavity formed by the disintegration of tissue
Periodontitis

Rasps
instruments used to level an abnormally uneven occlusive table of the teeth

intubation in which a needle is inserted through the midventral neck region between two of the tracheal rings and directed toward the head

intubation in which an endotracheal tube is attached to a standard clinical stethoscope using an appropriate adapter
Stomatitis
inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the structures in the mouth
Tongue Entrapment
a condition in which the tongue is pinned in the intermandibular space because of the mandibular cheek teeth growing to meet at the midline
Tongue retractors
instruments with a single, flat blade used to move the tongue away from the area
Tooth abrasion
wear of teeth not associated with normal tooth-to-tooth contact
Tooth extrusion
a pushing out
Tracheotomy intubation
intubation in which a tracheotomy is performed by making a longitudinal incision over the trachea
Traumatic malocclusion
malposition of the teeth resulting from injury to the teeth
Vital pulp therapy
a procedure performed to maintain tooth vitality
