Cusp neighborhood — In mathematics, a cusp neighborhood is defined as a set of points near a cusp. Cusp neighborhood for a Riemann surface The cusp neighborhood for a hyperbolic Riemann surface can be defined in terms of its Fuchsian model. Suppose that the Fuchsian … Wikipedia
cusp angle — 1. the angle made by the slopes of a cusp of a tooth with the plane that passes through the tip of the cusp and that is perpendicular to a line bisecting the cusp, measured mesiodistally or buccolingually. 2. the angle made by the slopes of a… … Medical dictionary
Plane curve — In mathematics, a plane curve is a curve in a Euclidean plane (cf. space curve). The most frequently studied cases are smooth plane curves (including piecewise smooth plane curves), and algebraic plane curves. A smooth plane curve is a curve in a … Wikipedia
cusp height — 1. the shortest distance between the tip of a cusp of a tooth and its base plane. 2. the shortest distance between the deepest part of the central fossa of a posterior tooth and a line connecting the points of the cusps of the tooth … Medical dictionary
