German term

anatoform

German to English Medical Medical: Dentistry Ceramic Restorations
"Anatoforme Reduktion

Anatoforme Reduktion bedeutet die Nachempfindung der natürlichen Konturen des Zahnes mit der Ausnahme, dass bei der Kronenpräparation der größte Umfang vom anatomischen Äquator in die Höhe des marginalen Randsaumes gelegt wird. Sehr häufig wird bei Frontzähnen die palatinale Konkavität vergessen und so resultieren plumpe unförmige Restaurationen (Abb. 7.4)."

From a text about ceramic restorations in dentistry. Is "anatoform" merely a synonym of "anatomisch"? TIA for your help.
Proposed translations (English)
3 reduction of anatomical form
2 anatomic form

So, this would be preparation of anatomical form, I suppose?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: ""Reduction of anatomicAL form" seems to get a handful of search engine hits, more so than "reduction of anatomic form", so I'll go for that. But thanks to Ariane also for all her hard work - I only wish I could give points to both of you! Appreciate your help."

anatomic form

Problem is: I can't find the adjective for it, so you might have to change it around a bit.
