1. dentistryPertaining to the buccal (inner cheek) surface and apex of a tooth or its alveolus.

   Two loads were applied to simulate anterior bite force: an oblique buccoapical force with a magnitude of 300 N set on 135° to the long axis of the implant and a vertical force in apical direction to the long axis of the implant with a magnitude of 150 N […].
