Lath


Definition:

  • (n.) A thin, narrow strip of wood, nailed to the rafters, studs, or floor beams of a building, for the purpose of supporting the tiles, plastering, etc. A corrugated metallic strip or plate is sometimes used.
  • (v. t.) To cover or line with laths.

  • (3) Machinable ceramics that can be cut and even lathed have recently been developed in industry.
  • (4) We studied the anterior surfaces of 30 soft contact lenses (10 lathe cut [polished]; 10 spin cast [unpolished], and 10 cast molded [unpolished]) of the same polymer and water content.
  • (5) The results indicate that when dental amalgam alloy is added to the glass ionomer, lathe-cut particles are to be preferred but only in an amount up to 20% by weight.
  • (6) Changes in corneal curvature and subjective refraction were found to occur in some wearers of N & N lathe-cut soft contact lenses.
  • (7) Peripheral swelling was less than central for both lathe cut- and spun cast-type lenses.
  • (8) For clinical application the initial intumescence should be taken into consideration, as well as the donor tissue thickening during its freezing for working on a lathe.
  • (9) Data is presented in respect of 256 restorations of Occlusin and 69 restorations of a conventional lathe cut amalgam.
  • (10) The lenses studied were lathe-cut polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), injection-molded non-UV PMMA, injection-molded UV PMMA, and cast-molded UV PMMA.
  • (11) Measurement of the corrosion rates of three distinctive amalgam alloys (lathe-cut, spherical and dispersed-phase) when immersed in three different electrolytes, including saliva, is reported.
  • (12) The results indicated that early microleakage from alloys of lathe-cut particles was lower than that from alloys of spherical particles in both low-copper and high-copper amalgam restorations.
  • (13) Precise lathing of epikeratoplasty lenticules is difficult to achieve with the cryolathe due to unpredictable expansion of the lathing tools and the corneal tissue during the freezing process.
  • (14) Like, ‘Don’t send us a CD master of the loudest techno music and expect that to be cuttable on a lacquer.’ (The high and low frequencies associated with this type of music can overheat the cutting lathe and cause the mastering machinery to shut down; pushing the process to its limits is the origin of some records being called “hot cuts”.)
  • (15) Often overlooked is the dental laboratory of which particular interest focuses on the lathes used in preparing prosthetic appliances, castings, orthodontic appliances, and surgical stents.
  • (16) A method was developed for lathing corneal tissue without freezing.
  • (17) This paper describes in detail the geometry of the first lathe-cut hydrophilic lens approved by the Federal Drug Administration, the fitting methods utilizing trial lenses, and the results of 100 patients successfully fitted.
  • (18) We adapted a lathe to the production of keratolenses.
