Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Ceramic Restorations
German term or phrase: anatoform
"Anatoforme Reduktion

Anatoforme Reduktion bedeutet die Nachempfindung der natürlichen Konturen des Zahnes mit der Ausnahme, dass bei der Kronenpräparation der größte Umfang vom anatomischen Äquator in die Höhe des marginalen Randsaumes gelegt wird. Sehr häufig wird bei Frontzähnen die palatinale Konkavität vergessen und so resultieren plumpe unförmige Restaurationen (Abb. 7.4)."

From a text about ceramic restorations in dentistry. Is "anatoform" merely a synonym of "anatomisch"? TIA for your help.

Clarification request(s) and response
margarete: 5:05am May 12, 2004: Rowan, is the tooth being reduced as prep before the crown, or is the crown being reduced to restore anatomic form? -
Rowan Morrell (asker): 6:29am May 12, 2004: Similar Sentence - Picture caption: "Gezielte anatoforme Präparation für optimale Wandstärken und harmonische Restaurationsformen."

So, this would be preparation of anatomical form, I suppose?

"Reduction of anatomicAL form" seems to get a handful of search engine hits, more so than "reduction of anatomic form", so I'll go for that. But thanks to Ariane also for all her hard work - I only wish I could give points to both of you! Appreciate your help.

Explanation:
Problem is: I can't find the adjective for it, so you might have to change it around a bit.
