In dental terms, "glossus" refers to the tongue. It is derived from the Greek word "glossa," which means tongue. The term is often used in conjunction with other terms to describe conditions or anatomical features related to the tongue, such as "sublingual glossus" (beneath the tongue) or "lingual glossus" (pertaining to the tongue). Understanding the glossus is important in dentistry for procedures involving oral health and anatomy.
