"Face" refers to a surface, portion, or region of a cutting tooth or similar cutting structure designed or configured to interact with, engage, cut, abrade, or remove material from a target object. The face typically extends from a cutting edge or tip of the tooth toward a base or body of the tooth, and may be angled, contoured, planar, or otherwise shaped to achieve specific cutting or abrading characteristics. The geometry and characteristics of a face may vary based upon factors such as desired cutting efficiency, material to be cut, and overall tooth performance. A face may be defined, characterized, or measured relative to one or more reference dimensions, axes, surfaces, or geometric or functional features of the tooth or structure on which it resides. Components incorporating teeth having faces include, without limitation, wedge osteotomy blades, rasp blades, saw blades, milling cutters, surgical cutting tools, machining tools, and other cutting or abrading instruments configured for material shaping, modification, or removal.
