Can some one please explain these dental terms to me?

[minicessish]

I received letters about my situation of my teeth. Can some one please explain these medical terms,

clicking of the left temporomandibular joint???

bilateral hypertrophy of the masseters and masseter to palpation???

occlusal amalgam which is mildy TTP and grade 1 mobile???

buccal tenderness???

DPT showed no periapical pathology ???http://www.depin.info/appleipad.gif

There was a distally ungulated, unerupted lower 8 - distally ungulated???

DPT???

the apices of which crossed the superior boarder of the inferior dental canal???

Temporomandibular joint disfunction

Micro leakage of occlusal amalgam - I assume this means possible filling leak.

Thanks

Were you copied into the letters? If so, it is reasonable to go back and ask for them to be translated so that you can understand the letter. This is obviously also the case if they were written directly to you! It is actually quite poor practice to write in jargon if one is sending the letter to the patient/service user.
