In dental language what does this mean?

Question

MIBL?

Ok....I dunno really what the deal is...I have NOT got a really huge cavity...I can see my teeth and the tooth in question ..yada yada...the doc said possible MIBL..who knows..but thankx for all of your help

Answer 1

I am not sure if you meant MIBL as one word or individually. Generally when a dentist says M - it means Mesial (I.e. Side closest to you ) I - means Incisal (that is tips of your teeth), B - means Buccal (surface of the tooth which is towards the cheek), L - means Lingual (surface of the tooth which is towards the tongue). I am not sure if this is the answer to your question but I tried

Answer 2

Ha ha liked the other answer but in reality it just means the surfaces of the tooth that you probably just had filled. m-Mesial (between the teeth), I - incisal (the biting edge), B-buccal (the side of the tooth facing your lip, and L-lingual(the side facing the inside of your mouth. There are five sides or surfaces of a tooth. You must've had decay or defect on four. It is just a record of where the tooth was repaired.

Answer 4

it means you have a huge funky cavity on a back tooth. possibly on the verge of root canal.

Answer 5

Being a huge American Pie fan, I still giggle like Beavis and Butthead when I see "MILF" on an anterior tooth.

Answer 6

We have another abbreviation for that; W.F.T. It sounds like a pretty big cavity, as it missed only one surface.

Answer 7

masked ion beam lithography, some sort of process that fabricates "pattern features" in the nanoscale.

actually, maybe you are referring to "mesial, incisal, buccal, lingual" which are the types of teeth.
Hope this helps!
