In the dog, the ideal tooth positions in the arches are defined by the occlusal, inter-arch and interdental relationships of the teeth of the archetypal dog (i.e. wolf).

- Gill. Definition: Oculus, the Latin for 'eye', is used in architecture to describe the circular opening (skylight) at the top of a dome and in archaeology, for an eye-like design. An oculus can be a glass window. The Pantheon in Rome has an oculus that is not glass, but, instead, open to the elements. An open oculus could be closed by a shield-like device, called a clipeus for the resemblance. The round, metal clipeus would be hoisted on chains to the oculus.

arterial occlusive disease MEDICAL: Peripheral Vascular Disorders with Major CC. Arterial occlusive disease, and in particular peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), is characterized by reduced blood flow through the major blood vessels of the body because of an obstruction or narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and its major branches.ther Drugs: Intermittent claudication caused by chronic arterial occlusive disease may be treated with pentoxifylline (Trental), which can improve blood flow through the capillaries by increasing red blood cell flexibility.
