Portuguese term or phrase: Apagamento (da cérvice)
OK, this is from a medical paper about Labor Induction... need help with the term "apagamento" which seems to be of the cervix (apagamento da cérvice")

"A evidente capacidade do misoprostol de provocar o apagamento e a maturação da cérvice uterina estimulou a sua avaliação como medicamento para indução do parto."
