UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008340 Mandibular Nerve A branch of the trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve. The mandibular nerve carries motor fibers to the muscles of mastication and sensory fibers to the teeth and gingivae, the face in the region of the mandible, and parts of the dura.

D008964 Molar, Third The aftermost permanent tooth on each side in the maxilla and mandible. Tooth, Wisdom,Teeth, Wisdom,Molars, Third,Third Molar,Third Molars,Wisdom Teeth,Wisdom Tooth
D009408 Nerve Compression Syndromes Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

D014081 Tooth Extraction The surgical removal of a tooth. (Dorland, 28th ed) Extraction, Tooth,Extractions, Tooth,Tooth Extractions
D014092 Tooth Root The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p690) Root, Tooth,Roots, Tooth,Tooth Roots
D019228 Tooth Crown The upper part of the tooth, which joins the lower part of the tooth (TOOTH ROOT) at the cervix (TOOTH CERVIX) at a line called the cementoenamel junction. The entire surface of the crown is covered with enamel which is thicker at the extremity and becomes progressively thinner toward the cervix. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p216) Crown, Tooth,Crowns, Tooth,Tooth Crowns
